Ah yes the hardship of fine dining, luxury vehicles, and McMansion mortgages.

More seriously, I take issue with the definition of “paycheck-to-paycheck”, they at least thankfully split the groups into those who struggle to pay their bills (a small minority) and those that don’t. I don’t know how you can claim to live check to check (“on the knife’s edge”) while also claiming to easily pay your bills every month. Just because you’re able to allocate all of your money doesn’t mean you’re living check to check.
