As an American and a small business owner, I totally agree with your perspective on victim mindset. It’s pervasive and, quite honestly, annoying. It’s intellectual complacency gone amok. It comes from a confluence of factors, but mainly an educational system that doesn’t teach personal responsibility. In fact, it teaches the opposite. If you get a bad grade, then it’s the teacher’s fault. Parents affirm their child’s struggles by blaming the teacher and not holding their child accountable. You can see how this translates into victimhood once they become adults.
The answer is it depends on what happens. If you remain healthy, you're ok. But it you have a chronic illness in America, you could easily be in trouble with that amount of money.

Very much agreed. People want all the privileges that come with freedom, but not the responsibilities that come with it.
Excellent article. Thank you!
Thank you, Ionut!
