Worker complains about living paycheck to paycheck, despite making $80K per year and paying $1175 a month in rent: ‘This is extremely affordable living’

Everyone has a different definition of «living paycheck to paycheck.» If you’ve never lived in actual poverty, you have no idea how resourceful you have to be to stretch less than $100 over two weeks and how stressful it is to live like that.
