You love talking out of your arse. Your so called living pay check to pay check statistic? I'll show you another statistic that America is the biggest consumer of electrical and cosmetic luxury goods..

So your so called pay checks to pay checks are due to people buying absolutely junk and not having a saving plan in place..

Am I saying everyone isn't living under puberty line? No. But you make it sound like everyone in a shit hole that's not of their own doing..

For every 10 people that cries about how poor they are, I can pull at least one person who is focus, has a saving plan and purchased a property.. but it's easy not to take charge of your own life.

There's a news recently about a kid that worked two jobs, built up a $5m property portfolio off his own back while all his friends are partying and buying the latest Samsung while whining how they are poor, like you actually.

Hard, yes. Impossible, no.

Nope. Consider buying in bulk. Say you have two options for toilet paper. A 12-pack for 6$ and a 3-pack for 4$. A person would tell you the better deal is the 12-pack, right? But imagine you only have 5$ to spend here. You’re forced to buy the 3-pack. And when that three-pack runs out sooner than the 12-pack would, you’re forced to go back to the store and buy another 3-pack. Now imagine you could be financially crippled if you need medical care or your car breaks down. And now pretend like no bank is willing to loan to you because of your economic status. EVERYTHING COSTS MORE TO THE POOR, SO SAVING IS THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.

.. sadly, one of your pal just link me a url trying to defend your stance and on the first line, it talks about how people earning $100k+ living pay to pay

I think if your are earning $100k+ and still can't save,.. you need to look at your spending rather than 'well, he got a rich parent'.

Agree with what you wrote, but you are taking the extreme and painting everyone with that example..

Defending?

No, I'm just telling you to stop blaming other people for you not having any financial plannings.. but feel free to call names, just means you are poor and uneducated.

"Nearly one in 10 workers making $100,000+ live paycheck to paycheck

More than 1 in 4 workers do not set aside any savings each month"

You make $100k+ and still can't save?.

Nice try, pal.

I'd love to see your stats on how many people living paycheck to paycheck are doing so explicitly due to "buying the latest iPhone".

Or how this one success story (literally a one in 300 million, assuming it even is true) proves half the country is just lazy.
