Thank you for putting it so eloquently. <333
Mind, I also think the strong reaction comes because someone saying something like that (on the internet, proving they are at least not worse off than whoever they claim can't be poor), is because it sounds very much like a snotty, spoilt, sheltered, rich kid, who has never known what it's like to constantly worry about money, telling people who do know what that's like, that they're really well-off and have nothing to complain about.
If you're poor in a development country, you can tell me that I'm well-off and lucky. Snotty rich kids however? Not so much.
