I think it is actually not that far from the truth. If you've spent all your life inside the gilded bubble from which professional opinion-havers are drawn the concept of being broke is incomprehensible. They might have heard about it sometimes but emotionally it doesn't make sense to them. They can only comprehend of financial trouble as bankrupting your business and having to start a new one or having to spend money from a savings account.

cap-think No money, at all? No, that can't be, nobody lives like that. None of the people I know have ever had trouble buying food. Those poors must be over-dramatising it.
