@zmax683 I worked in a factory making toilet paper. I didn't live check to check. I'm not rich and I'm now retired but if my pensions stopped at the end of the month, I could live for years if I was careful. I like the idea that my decisions can get me ahead instead of a government telling me that I must NEVER aspire to do better for myself. My dad started with nothing, worked 3 jobs at times and saved and invested every cent that he could. There was no welfare, no state health care. People paid for it all out of their own pockets and those times are considered the golden age of this country. He's still alive and has lots of money. He did it by refusing to depend on others. If you can get by living check to check, get another job. 10 hours a week....that's it. If you take that extra money and invest it, you will be well off in no time. Don't buy that expensive phone. You don't need it. Instead of staring at your phone, you'd be better off doing something productive. Of course, you won't believe me and that attitude is exactly why you live check to check. You are your own worst enemy.
