I agree most people can't afford to buy Bitcoin at the current price. The most anyone can do is mine a little, faucets, or other low cost ways to gain Bitcoins. To me it's time consuming to even try some for they can have very little return. Many suggest that online mining just makes the mining pool owners wealthier and not the miners. Maybe...I've certainly mined at a few that seemed on the shady side with things not adding up with what I was seeing in my account. However, if you are not a mining expert you can't really say if you're being fleeced or not.
But, who says you need to buy a whole bitcoin? There's always an excuse not to buy and when the price eventually reaches a new high, you would regret not buying (even small fractions at current prices). Well, you are not alone there because we see a lot here who only earn bitcoin and use that earning for their everyday expenses, and not being able to accumulate and hold what they earn even if they wanted to.
