I do. Most people I talk to are doing fine. Nothing close to what you described.

In the Netherlands alone, a country with 18 million people, more than 1 million people need food stamps to survive.

I do not consider that “fine” at all.

Define "doing fine", please. These people think they are doing fine. If you think this is not usual, why is 15% of my state population in irrecoverable debt?

Doing fine as in they own the place they live in with their families in reasonable comfort and dignity?

If that is not fine, what is fine then?

So 15% of population in irrecoverable debt is fine? I don't think so. Every place has rich people and they are fine wherever they are - not really interesting or surprising.
