A lot of those shows have aged pretty badly in terms of what "struggling" looks like. The idea of a boring office job being some awful fate is also kinda dated.

At least shows like the Simpsons were self aware about this.

A boring office job is an awful fate, we should bring that perception back!

There's a fair few people who would straight up murder someone for a boring, stable office job.

After a few years in a boring job they'll be ready to kill again.

Unfortunately, murder will often land you in prison, making your freshly earned office job not that stable.
Don't ask me how I know.

Big difference between a low paying boring office job and a high paying one lol.

There's a lot of starving children in Africa who would be ecstatic with a job that paid American minimum wage, that doesn't mean anything.

In a lot of ways, we are those starving children.
