You are absolutely right, but that's really not the point of this post. While real poverty is an issue worth talking about, that's not what this guy is trying to address.

The point seems to be that many people who have disposable income treat that money as disposable and then wonder why they don't have more money. There are many people who could afford more of what they really care about (be it time, travel, things, etc) if they didn't nickel and dime themselves on things that might not really be that important to them.
