I love seeing this in those periodic ragebait articles about how a family earning 400k+ is "paycheck to paycheck" after maxing out their retirement accounts, paying for private schools and vacations, mortgage on a $2m house, car notes on two newer luxury cars, etc. etc.

"After long term saving and paying for my indulgent lifestyle, I just don't have anything left at the end of the month!"

Somewhat offtopic, but I call these articles "parading the idiot". Where a newspaper or other media outlet runs an article interviewing a person where the subject is clearly out of step with everyone else in their assumptions.

See also articles where a property investor complains about how hard they are doing financially because they have to sell one of their eighteen investment properties.
