I believe it breh, i see it everyday at work , people barely making it even WITH government assistance.

The main issues seem to be IMO

- having more children than they can afford
- not being able to maintain a steady job, for various reasons
- being in some type of debt, with the main ones being, some type of educational loan and car loan
- horribly managing money , this includes not knowing how to save , even when the things i mentioned before aren't a factor.

I agree with all of these but especially the last one. Alot of people flat out suck at saving and managing money

honestly its not there fault, its not something that is not taught in schools and it should, if they spend half the time teaching money management instead of bullshyt ass algebra a lot of us would be in better shape financially. That shyt gets passed down to if your parents are bad with money you will almost ceartnily be horrible with it too, I just started learning how to be good with money the past year, funny thing its not that difficult

Dont buy shyt you need, spend money when you dont have to
Pay your bills on time or ahead of time
Save the rest

I'd imagine there's not a lot to "save". I mean 40 hours at minimum wage or say even 25 dollars an hour after tax? Your monthly wage couldn't support one person.

out of these 76% living paycheck to paycheck, I would venture to say at least half are shacking up with friends, family members, or boyfriend/girlfriend to lower living costs. At least if these 76% living paycheck to paycheck owned homes, after 30 years they would be alright. Now that Goldman Sachs is going to be your landlord, the majority of Americans will be basically indentured servants, with no hope for the future except your Christmas bonus and tax return :whew:

American citizens waking up to the sad technocratic America where they are just as disposable as your average world citizen :wow:
