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.
