Some people expect to be handed their dream. Others expect to work for their dream.
For some being a have means they can eat. For others being a have means they can buy a new car every year.
Being a have IS relative, unlike some other things.
True enough. I meant ‘haves’ in terms of having basics, affording to eat, affording rent anywhere in commuting distance to where one works, working a livable wage. Things that were once veritable givens if one was willing to work. I imagine some do consider themselves have nots because they still have the same car 3 years later, or have cancelled vacations. It does reflect a growing trend either way.
