    They live paycheck to paycheck just covering the basics.

    Let me guess: “basics” include expenses to commute to work in a car, right?

    Well, for starters, don’t do that.

      Let me guess, you have no idea how most people in the world live. Most people in most places can’t afford a car at all, and spend a good chunk of their money on public transport anyways.

        This article, this thread, and my comments have all been about the United States. That’s what we’re talking about: the United States. If you think it’s some sort of “gotcha” that what I wrote doesn’t apply to folks in Somalia or wherever, you’re just being disingenuous.
