It's called not budgeting your money well. Just cause you can afford a $500,000 home and Mercedes doesn't mean you have to buy one.. That's why they live pay check to pay check.

This is why "living paycheck to paycheck" is not a real economic measurement. It's entirely subjective.

I used to live paycheck to paycheck. I buckled down, learned how to budget, made sacrifices. I can proudly say that now I live direct deposit to direct deposit.

Depends on the state too. 150k in Cali isn’t enough to get by.

ppl are blaming this family but childcare, education, student loans, cost of living, etc could all make this true for them. save the hate for billionaires.

I’m seeing a lot of people saying “it’s because they have nicer things” or “they live above their means” but nobody’s saying that cost of living is just higher in certain areas of the country.

I make 200k. I feel paycheck to paycheck only because after I max my 401k, Roth IRA, brokerage investments mortgage, etc, I don’t have much left over. Pay check to pay check is often different for us

I do want to add a reminder that $150k in some states is still nothing. California, New York and Massachusetts to name a few would like be paycheck to paycheck

Let me off this ride :
My husband and I make around 150k and we still live paycheck to paycheck. We do have 4 kids though and our daughter has a disability that can be expensive.

It’s called living within your means and budgeting appropriately. You won’t live pay check to paycheck making $150k unless you live outside of your means. $150k is a livable income.

It's lifestyle inflation, just know your paycheck to paycheck is not the same as theirs. Once you make more you slowly start getting nicer things and accruing more monthly payments. (1/2)

Hey I’m Derek :
I don’t know how to explain it it’s not paycheck to paycheck but it’s not financial freedom. I invest more and our bills are higher but I’m never worried about paying for anything

I’m single and made $140k and lived paycheck to paycheck, but that’s because I was contributing heavily to retirement, HSA, and savings. That let me quit and start a business.

Think about it. The more you make. The nicer things you have which cost more on payments and what not. It’s almost balances out.

It’s not true, love, people just live beyond their means and they don’t think they are because they don’t have extravagant lifestyles.

I feel that’s a choice, me and my husband make about $130k combined and don’t live paycheck to paycheck. We have a nice house, I just paid my car off, kids in sports, nice chunk in savings.
