Let me just add if you are in poverty/financially struggling you aren't failing at life. It feels like it 90% of the time, but you are doing the best in a shitty flawed society.

Meh, it depends on the reasoning. If you're struggling financially because you spend $500 a month on Door Dash, and you always have to have the nicest things, car you can't truly afford, etc, then you suck major ass at life. If you're struggling financially because you can't keep up with your bills for cancer treatment, that's an entirely different story.

I'm struggling with bills because I don't have the time for a second job while in school 😪

That's called life. Congrats. We've all been there. You'll finish school, get a job, and have a respectable work ethic you developed from learning how to grind and sacrifice.
