Can an economy be considered truly successful if a significant portion of its population believes it to be failing?

A lot of people are struggling financially and especially the government itself which leads me to believe the economy is failing and I am sure I am not the only one either.

I think that the people who have to deal with feeling poor or living in poverty should never be the majority. People in the market that recently joined should get benefits aswell as people who are more experienced. The only problem is that the people right now need help more than the elders who have accomplished things before them.

I think that there could be so much more help for poor people, everything costs so much, and no job pays a lot. It's hard to live as a human and I think that's disgusting.

If many people believe an economy to be failing then the economy must have multiple issues within itself

The economy should bolster the common man, not drain him of his livelihood

I dont think that the economy is successful.
