[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Go read the thread in off topic asking what people are cutting back on because of the furlough. There are people referencing Gucci and Prada bags, going out to eat, minimizing target runs, travel, etc. But everyone is keeping their cleaning service. [/b] The bottom line is that many mc/UMC families are living above their means. And that is very different from low-income people or single parents living paycheck to paycheck. Mc/UMC people are making a choice by not saving. Travel is another area where people live above their means. If you have to put it on a credit card and can't pay for it up front, then you shouldn't take such an expensive trip. Most people save up for a big trip. The over spenders can't save because they blow any money they have access to.[/quote] Uh, that’s a DCUM thread. The respondents don’t represent the US population as a whole (the vast majority of whom do not have cleaning services, furlough or no furlough).[/quote]
