If they really want to get out of their situation, they will have to live frugally while saving money.

This means doing things like finding the cheapest place to rent (probably with roommates) and always cooking your own meals. If you really are struggling, then make sure you also get the government benefits that you are eligible for.

But most people think they're "too good for that" while complaining they don't have enough money, which is where entitlement comes in.

Please don't pretend that most renters are doing everything they can to save money. They aren't. Every renter I know that complains about not having enough money isn't living in the cheapest spot, orders food all the time, and subscribes to things they can be getting for free.

It's overwhelmingly people who are bad with money and think they're entitled to more before others have less.
