    doesn’t matter if I understand that when rent has going up $100/year for the last 4 years and now consumes 99% of my income leaving me deciding between rent, food, and electricity. none of that matters when i have negative money to invest with and no debt.

      It matters to the extent that there is a whole class of people who don’t have to worry about that stuff that think you’re not paying enough taxes and could use less of YOUR social security when retirement comes.
