I saw a guy comment on this image once. He talked about how he'd hit absolute rock bottom at one point in his life, but managed to claw his way back up and get a job that let him get an apartment. Most people see this image as a huge failure, but he explained that in his case getting that bare apartment with an air mattress was a huge step for him towards a better quality of life.
TBH, this is true of me as well (maybe not to the same degree as the person you were talking about, but I can relate to it is my point). I was living with my mom until last December, and from the time that I graduated high school until I was about 28-29, I had always been either long-term unemployed, underemployed, & working for minimum wage.
My apartment looked pretty similar to this (and tbh is still pretty sparse, although now I have an actual bed), when I first moved into it.

Especially since it looks pretty clean and in good repair.
