How does this happen? I made below minimum at times and still retired in mid 40s. When I got paid few bucks above minimum wage at 35+, I was on my way to financial freedom. I was very sensitive to the $5-$6 hourly increase. Didn't go shopping, but invested it. Kept my life as it was.
I know several places to live where $830 I would get at 62, would be quite enough. And 62 is young enough to work part time.
I have always wondered what people did with their money. I understand emergencies and health problems, but people are broke even without the two.
