Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

I can pay my current bills, but the little disposable cash I have left is being used for one monthly massage. My body is completely effed right now, per my massage therapist I'm "holding on to everything" which is why I'm in pain. And I have it good, I'm a fitness instructor! 2/
