grimhilde00 02/07/21 2:42:32 PM #4:	I've heard that most are living paycheck to paycheck here. But no, I have a year in cash savings for my not-cheap rent plus living expenses. Then I have my brokerage account with even more money if I needed to pull from there. And retirement is large too if I were really desperate. But importantly, I have a safety net with my family. If I hit hard times I could move in with them. Many people don't have that. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Living paycheck to paycheck sounds like an improvement to my quality of life.

SKARDAVNELNATE 02/07/21 3:05:41 PM #5:	grimhilde00 posted... this sounds completely out of touch... Can you elaborate on this? Living paycheck to paycheck sounds like a narrow corridor of making just enough. On one side people don't have enough to meet their needs. Maybe their car needs maintenance but they can't afford that and all the other demands on their money. So they have to cut back on groceries to save cash to add to the next pay period to be able to fix their car. For them being able to meet all their needs in one pay period would be an improvement. On the other side people can make more than what they need. And if their job security is good they know this condition will be true for a decent length of time. As such they can spend as much as they want before the next pay period. For this person living paycheck to paycheck is optional. --- No locked doors, no windows barred.

That is making assumptions that there's money than could be saved. That's not necessarily true.

Just felt like you made a bunch of assumptions saying people living paycheck to paycheck are financially secure. The very financially secure can waste money and still save.

Raze_Razel 02/07/21 5:39:44 PM #19:	It's pretty obvious what "check to check" means. Doesn't always mean being poor and destitute, which is a common use for the phrase being fair. But it can also apply to working class people who barely make enough to maintain their desired lifestyle. Or in fact anyone trying to maintain a certain lifestyle, but struggle to make the end's meet. On welfare, or working part-time on minimum wage, barely enough to pay your portion of rent in a multi (illegal) suited condo. And the rest goes to food you have to label in the fridge, or the 'family-of-4' living in the converted master bedroom will eat it on you. Working class husband, has to buy a two-story 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in the suburbs. For himself, wife, and 3 kids. Mortgage payments are 90% of his check, while bills take the last 10%. Wife works enough to buy Food. but not much for anything else...Mmmmaybe, planning a Disneyland road-trip on a shoe-string budget, travelling across 4 states (cheaper than flying), 5 years from now, on a shoe-string budget; staying at the cheap hotels across the street; just to give the kids some highlight in their life....that is, if the husband's work and the economy holds up. 1%'er on the verge of being downgraded to the 99% if their investments don't start showing any positive returns. Might have to cancel their bi-monthly trip to Cabo, or face losing their mansion.....yeah, not exactly a strong point, however the premise is those trying to struggle to maintain 'some' level of comfort and/or lifestyle. --- --- have I done it?

I can afford the small luxuries I enjoy like games, restaurant meals, alcohol, and cigars in moderation. My main financial concern is saving up for a down payment on a home. I'm close to being in the same situation. With that said, I do still spend time worrying about finances. Mainly because I want to ensure that I have enough money in the future for kids, vacations, retirement, etc. I don't want to struggle ever again, I've been there and it's awful. <cite>Xfma100 posted [p:950445401] in Living pay...

TaKun782 02/09/21 9:46:09 AM #32:	Im disabled due to my crippling depression and suicidal thoughts. That being said though, I do get a decent amount a month on disability so..yes. I do live off of that the best I can while still living with relatives which makes it a bit easier trying to stretch a dollar and it does make me really appreciate the value of a dollar and I try to take whatever I get, split it in half and save the rest into savings. <cite>TaKun782 posted [p:950446453] in Living pay...
