I am not surprised by either the author or the HN community completely missing it’s getting harder to die if and only if you can afford it or want to throw your family into crippling debt for the rest of their lives. This might be a US problem only. I rolled my eyes when the article opened with “sophisticated New Yorkers” and then completely ignored the cost all of this incurs.
