Triggered much? Must suck living paycheck to paycheck.

Don’t be a dick. Paycheck to paycheck people put Trump in the White House.

Living paycheck to paycheck is a choice to not live within your means. It's the same mindset that liberals use to justify social welfare.

This will get plenty of downvotes from those who don't want to look in the mirror, but truth hurts.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are usually things people can do, yes, but there are a lot of blue collar workers who love their country, work their asses off, and for whatever reasons aren’t swimming in cash. You don’t need to make fun of them for it.

For a lot of people it is, but for a lot of people it's not. Unforeseeable illness/injury or being a victim of a crime can change someone's financial situation much faster than they can change their living expenses.

If you have a mortgage you can easily afford, but then get decimated by an illness in your family, or an uninsured drunk driver destroying your cheap used car that you need to get to work, and injuring you so that you can't work at your job for several weeks or months, or somebody breaks into your garage and steals all your tools that you need to do your self-employed work, your mortgage doesn't evaporate. You aren't just magically transported to a rented single-wide trailer which is what you can now afford, and your house instantly sold for as much or more than you owe on it before your next mortgage payment is due.

Once somebody gets behind, especially with children to support, getting out of the paycheck to paycheck cycle can be very difficult, and impossible if there are additional rounds of bad things happening to you. Like your business income evaporates because the government orders it closed because of a pandemic.

No one vilified anyone. Your brain immediately went there on its own. Kind of like Democrats and racism.

Lmfao tell yourself whatever you need to sleep at night. You sound like a liberal trying to rewrite history to support your confirmation bias. You're clearly triggered by your own lack of financial responsibility and just had to say something. Be better.

You just doubled down like Biden and your analogy is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you boys can't settle down I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Lmfao trust me when I say you're getting A LOT more of my money than I am yours.

How do I know? Because if that wasn't the case you'd be use to getting jack shit from these "stimulus" bills. But clearly you're furious at the idea of not getting more handouts.
