Yes! It sucks!
PS, I recently learned that more than half of the people in America are only two paychecks away from being homeless. Meaning: If you were fired from a job, most people would be evicted from their homes within a month because they wouldn't be able to afford rent/mortgage. Scarey but so true!

The cost of gas, rent, and utilities at this rate, causes anyone working to live paycheck by paycheck unless they are congress and can give themselves a 33% raise, like they just did, do we really want these politians in there next year.

Never make it pay check to pay check, that's why the credit card is so valuable.

Absolutely.
Actually it goes more like this:
Pay check to broke to pay check to broke to pay check to broke.

Yep. I'll be honest. I make a decent wage but I spend more than I make. Sometimes I'm broke about a week before payday.

I force myself to. Any money I don't spend on necessities (groceries, rent, bills, clothes) this paycheck gets invested as soon as my next paycheck clears. That way if anything does happen, I've got some cushion.
