Maybe so, but they sure are eating well. I can’t find a table at half the restaurants I go to these days.
Well I live paycheck to paycheck too....probably because I always put a bit into savings and my 401k.
Does this make me a bad person?
I've had five jobs over the past year. One of them was a substitute teaching job that lasted two days.
The reason I was fired? I subbed in a high school chemistry class studying reactions. And I told the kids that sodium combusts with water.
The principal said I was teaching them about high explosives.
True story.
We does all your hard-earned money go???? WASTED through taxes and the hidden taxes of inflation all caused by the $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government which as I repeat so often is THE GREATEST THREAT to our lives, liberties and free pursuits.
NUKE THE $3+ TRILLION UNCONSTITUTIONAL PORTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT or it will nuke us!!!!
Most people live paycheck to paycheck. Most people live very well paycheck to paycheck. People tend to spend what the earn.
Nothing wrong with that
The Ant and the grasshopper, is a story told 2,600 years ago, by Aesop in ancient Greece.
Yes. Many, if not most are.
Pretty close!
One of the steps into socialism. All according to plan.
Have not had a paycheck in a long time.Biden sucks shi*.
There’s a ‘t’ in there.
But, but, but the media talking heads are always droning on and on about this being the greatest US economy ever.
That is pretty amazing given that the US labor participation rate is 62.7%.
But don’t most people do this?
...and they love it!
They are sacraficing in support of those experiencing injustice in this world.
They feel they are better than by being worse off.
How they vote confirms this.
I know. Makes no sense.
Even more are using credit cards to fill the gap.
Big unspoken element——
Paycheck means “working” for a living. Many people do not work and receive a paycheck.
Old statistic (must be much higher in 2023)
In 2019, 99.1 million people participated in one of the 10 programs discussed in this data point
representing 30 percent of the U.S. population.
More than one in four working‐age adults (27 percent) and nearly one of every two children (49
percent) participated in a safety net program.
Nearly one in eight adults (12 percent) and one in three children (33 percent) participated in
multiple safety net programs.
Among beneficiaries, 47 percent of adults and two out of three children (67 percent) participated
in multiple programs.

in before the “people are lazy and spend too much on crap” and “if they would just be rich like me” and and might as well throw in “if they would just push away from the dinner table they would be skinny” crowd..
A nation with incredible resources, constitutionally guaranteed freedom to do just about anything you please…and this is the result.
Honestly, our government is twice as large and twice as expensive as it needs to be. Cut taxes, let people keep more of their money.
