I live month to month, I have some cushion but it's all credit cards which isn't good. I should save more and bootstrap.

Well alot of those people want it this way, they voted red because they don't want handouts and they prefer their lives like this. So why should I feel bad for those particular people? The other half I do feel for.

Nope not me, still got plenty of extra money for what I want. Planning ahead and investing correctly is how I keep making bank.

Might not be spending as much though since things could be bad soon for everyone.

This is a bit deceptive, tbh. Living paycheck to paycheck doesn't mean you're not well off.

Same here. I used to be able to put at least $500 into savings and student loan per month. Can't do that now. My student loan is payed off, but it still feels like I have a lot less money than I used to even though I make more.

Depending on here you live, $100,000 may not get you that far, Nayar said. In San Francisco, for example, a family of four with a household of under $120,000 is considered low income.

wtf

Its because things are stupid expensive there, if the family moved to a better state they would almost certainly be better off.

Nah, it's mostly because people love to run with the story "poor rich people live paycheck to paycheck if they maintain their extravagant lifestyle"

It's a bullshit story that's run like a dozen times over the past 8 years.

*Saves for 6 months*

There goes your savings.

God help you if you have a medical emergency in America.

Yup. People don't realize how "living comfortably" in the U.S. is a very, very fragile thing.
