Tbh, that’s not true. If your standards are low enough, you can get by with very little money.

When I was at university (10 years ago) I could get by with 5-10h of work per week. I had a single-room flat and no car, a 10yo laptop, a cheapo second-hand phone and ate cheap food. The total amount of assistance that I received from my parents were birthday and christmas presents with a total worth of €700 over 5 years.

Now I have a larger flat, a wife, two kids and a car. Now I need much more money.

Of course, neither the cost nor the lifestyle are comparable.
