I know plenty of Americans who choose to live paycheck to paycheck. That said, I agree that the food industry is cut throat.

- garciasn 1y agoOf course you do: estimates via survey show that roughly 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This is an 2x increase from 30y ago.
- jghn 1y agoThe problem is that these are usually measuring self described rates. And people aren't using the same definition when self describing. Have come across plenty of people who claim to be living paycheck-to-paycheck because they have nothing left over after maxing out 401k & IRA, socking away $1K in a savings account, paying for their posh apartment, and more. But of course that's not what it's supposed to mean.
