Like everyone has said, it's clear the creator of the image intended it as satire. People do agree with this sentiment however and that's why it's being satirised. I saw a thread on reddit yesterday talking about this subject and basically every post was "These people are poor because they buy *thing*". It's so illogical it hurts, do they really believe that the conservative consumer ends up rich? Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up.
I think it's important to remember that within that large percentage of americans who live paycheck to paycheck, that includes a ton of people who make 100k a year if not more and have credit card debt. Where there are many people who make half that and get along totally fine with savings.
Within this it's important to remember that well off people really don't have any conceptualization of the fact that other working people are straight up just struggling because they don't get paid enough. They think a far higher percentage of americans have it good than they actually do.
Boomers especially legitimately don't realize how bad millennials have it.

People in the thread are saying that the dude who posted it was serious. Guy is a literal landlord, and did not get the joke.
