Probably every country has a version of this saying, "I can't afford being poor" in the sense that you can only buy the cheapest shit so you have to buy it way more often and eat bad which worsens your general condition and requires doc visits, paid diagnosis tools, meds.
Even jumping from a poor fag to a decently off, very middling class itfag makes you notice things, suddenly you get better options for your surplus money, you can get very affordable service plans for your whatever which you didn't even knew existed, your contacts can get you things that are almost unattainable if you simply walk through the door and ask, not to mention that you can simply afford to not mingle with the unfiltered plebs if you feel like it.

And then there are all the other levels to it, like being a recognizable face like a Grug.
