I'm confused about the 'high on the hog thing' from your other post (I just didn't feel like replying to both), because stegosaurus was talking about inability to save during the baseline cost of living, which you went on to suggest was treated very differently in the US. I think you're equating the US being a rich society compared to others with all the people in the US being rich in absolute terms, disregarding their relative poverty within the US. But you know very well that absolute measures of wealth are pretty meaningless given the fact of geographic dispersion. If you're talking to someone who doesn't know how to get ahead in the US and feels pinched by a lack of disposable income, observing that they're far better off than a peasant in some other country isn't responsive to their problem, notwithstanding the truth of the matter. It's not like this person struggling with poverty in the US can just relocate to the peasant area and start leveraging his capital advantage.
