There is NO point in living paycheck to paycheck, because eventually you will be unable to work and will have to pay the piper for not saving for retirement/an emergency.
If people have to choose between living paycheck to paycheck or living in a smaller house/driving an older car/not eating out as much, the choice should be clear, but it’s not to most people.
