You live the give you have. People didn’t know about the wider world outside their close neighbourhood, so all were in the same position.
I consider I was born at the best of times. Plenty of jobs, safer world, I had very hard times in the seventies, these didn’t break me and I appreciated the good times eventually when they came. . Some people are dealt a really bad hand in life, all those eager young men enlisting in 1914 absolute slaughter. My gran had the hardest of life, she also had a faith and a good sense of humour and despite it all, losing four children, the pain of losing brothers in the Great War for instance, had many good times.
