[quote=Anonymous]For me, it means being stressed out at 1:30 in the morning trying to figure out which bills will get paid before the next paycheck at the end of the month. It means every paycheck is basically spent before you get it. No retirement contributions. No savings. No 529. No new furniture. No new clothes except underwear. Only putting a couple gallons in the tank at a time. It sucks. It was kind of an adventure when I was in my 20s. It went away in my 20s and 30s but medical expenses and job losses have us back on the rocks. At least I know how to get by like this. Grateful that we have a roof (for now) and the kids don't go hungry. So many families have it much tougher.[/quote]
