I assure you that people could live off of less. Every family has to have multiple vehicles, larger than necessary homes, electronics and many other things to be average middle class. The problem is that Americans are worldly. The NT saints sold all they had to follow Jesus, but Americans feel like they have to have everything the world has to offer. The bible says having food and raiment to therewith be content, but we have to have much more than that.
My grandparents raised 7 children in a 2 bedroom house and did it without welfare. When the kids wasn't in school they worked. Kids today don't work, but spend their time playing video games and goofing off. There is a reason all the middle class jobs are going over seas and it ain't just the governments fault. Meanwhile mom is out on the job trying to give her children all the things she never had while neglecting to give them what she did have (a mother that was there and a proper raising).
