I don't think you understand what it means to be in a good financial position. Can you afford to go without work for at least 6 months? Can you survive unexpected expenses, for example car health home expenses without taking on debt? If you can't, you simiply aren't in a good financial position.

I am not saying everyone is in the same financial position... in fact I'm literally saying that being in a good financial position is a privilege that is made incredibly hard to obtain under capitalism.

It takes a certain amount of money to achieve a good financial position. It's simply not possible if your below the middle class. That's sort of how capitalism works.

Not sure why you are being downvoted it's the truth. A good financial position includes having a healthy emergency fund to buffer some of lifes large unexpected expenses, such as car trouble.

The reality is most people aren't in good financial positions, which is a key feature of capitalism.
