I think you may have shared that from your NYT account, as I'm getting an error about logging in and something about cookies.

This link works for me.

Edit:

This reminds me of something I read while trying to brush up on economics, which pointed out that one of the myths of poverty is that the majority of the impoverished are permanently impoverished. Another thing that was mentioned, was that it tends to be the young who are impoverished and have the lowest wages and earning power, while it is people closer to retirement age who hold the highest salaries and earning power and that many people transition through various classes (as long as "class" is defined by income).
