Yep, we're lucky in that most haven't experienced a serious life setback through no fault of our own, as some have- but for the most part, we make our own luck, and if you keep puttin' one foot in front of the other and don't just give up, you can even overcome some problems along the way. There are some on here who haven't been dealt a very good hand, but by growing a good garden, doing a lot of canning, freezing, firewood cutting and so on, still seem to be able to provide for the basics and have a decent life.
I grew up on a subsistence dairy farm in the '50's. Mom was a great cook.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor.
