One other nuance is the difference between wealth and income. Wealth is productive assets that generate further capital in one way or another. Income just gets used to pay for things.
Instead, I think it's basically ok to say that your point applies to people who have reached a certain threshold of stability and security in your life, and isn't meant to imply that people who haven't reached that threshold ought to be able to simply will themselves into doing the same thing.
But how can we better define that threshold? Where you live and circumstances you have are just so expansive to control in a few sentences. One person threshold can be much lower than someone else dealing with long term debt and family obligations but I didn't want to make it sound overly pessimistic by cutting them out in some way.
