Some people are lucky to be born with a "silver spoon" in their mouth; others are lucky to be able to just share a plastic spoon with the few meals they have (or had).

What about the person (I am one) that was born with the plastic spoon, worked their butts off so they could take advantage of the stuff and services they couldn't afford over the years. Part of the "rewards" of years of hard work and prudent savings and investing is the joy of experiencing those things that make life a bit more interesting and enjoyable. If you were born poor (plastic spoon?) and you find living poor makes you feel better, please try not to judge those of us that were born poor but have come to enjoy some of the little things that make our lives more enjoyable.
