A Family Earning $350k A Year Is 'Struggling' ?

Different people have different concepts of what struggling with money really means. Twitter had a field day making fun of a ‘supposedly financially struggling’ family that had an annual gross income of 350,000 dollars. Twitter users were ruthless with their jokes, stating how the only thing that family might be struggling with is probably math, while others criticized the family’s flamboyant lifestyle.

Grossing near $200g /year combined. Typical situation. Living in simple 2 br apartments, high rent. Not struggling, but working really hard. Do travel back home yearly. Do the 'date night' dinners or show, - their main 'extravagance'.
