[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]To think that with a household income of $165K is living paycheck to paycheck is ridiculous.[/b]  You should be ashamed.  Please, go to some of the other threads where people are trying to figure out what bills to pay because they can't cover them all, or they don't have enough food to put on the table for their family.  You're disgusting. [/quote]

I agree that the question is ridiculous - anyone who has 12 months expenses saved, and also maxes our retirement and saved for college is absolutely not living paycheck-to-paycheck - but there are plenty of people who make $165,000 who DO live paycheck to paycheck.  The amount you make isn't determinative - it's your expenses compared to your income.  So there are people (idiots) who make $300,000 who live paycheck to paycheck, one misstep ahead of financial ruin - they're the ones whose friends scratch their heads and wonder how they pay for everything - and there are people who make $75,000 who don't, because they live within their means.[/quote]
