I got this comment as a reply to my post:

You can get a job and do your math, too.
Other people do more with less, why can't you?
Answer:

Greed and entitlement.

I feel quite offended, that I have to care about someone else who “do more with less”. What does it have to do with greed? I do not get the thought process behind it.

I wonder if I am overreacting. I would feel better if they just said to get a job, but it felt more like they are trying to make fun of me.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for thoughtful replies! Now I feel a lot better - I was in very bad mood when I got the reply above, so I felt even more attacked. Still, I should learn to not get overly offended like this.

    I see, maybe that’s it. But I’ve also seen many who aren’t rich and get by through scholarships instead. I believe I am one of them - I earn a little bit of money as I pursue my doctorate, although it’s not much. I guess this is impossible in US, maybe…

    I do not understand what this has to do with greed.
