[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s usually because people are bad at calculating their means. They add up all the predictable, regular costs but underestimate the periodic and unpredictable ones. Car trouble. Home repairs. Job loss. Illness. Also they budget without a contingency cushion and expect themselves to bat 1000 on sticking to it, which is not going to happen for a family vacation, for example. The lower your means, the harder it is to do both of those things well because living cheaply is really, really hard. [/quote] Pin this post. This is the answer to OP’s question. [/quote]
