Lucky you?
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/19/bank-of-america-nearly-half-of-americans-live-paycheck-to-paycheck.html
there's always gotta be at least one "let's all pay attention to how this isn't a problem for ME" chud in the comments
Yeah! Sucks for the Americans, though.
Nearly half means not half, so that's better than 50/50 odds to not be living paycheck to paycheck. That's not really that lucky, statistically speaking
And there's a big difference between not living paycheck to paycheck, and being able to save $1k/mo
How does that not still make the statement in the meme true? Because I think it still does. If you're not living paycheck-to-paycheck it doesn't mean you are able to amass $5000 in savings, it means you're not at risk of going into debt (or at least more debt than you're probably in thanks to things like student loans).
