Or are you set financially?
Me, personally, I am trying to get off the paycheck to paycheck thing and on to some sort of good track!

Yes, unfortunately I do live paycheck to paycheck. The Dept. of Education takes 15% off the top for student loans (i owe a lot) and my job does not pay very well (i guess it is well for this area, but not with that large of a deduction)

You're married and making over $2000 a month, but what about him? Are you supporting the family by yourself? Anyway, when you say your bills are $875 per month are you including groceries, gas, incidentals, clothing, doctor bills, medicine, gifts??? If not, they really add up especially when you have kids. But you can still save. Write down everything you spend for one month. Account for everything and then see where you can cut back. Next, every payday put money into a savings account. Do you best not to touch it. If you get a raise or a bonus or a windfall, put part of it into savings. Budget your groceries. Make a list and stick to it. Clip coupons, but don't buy things you wouldn't have just because you have a coupon. Restaurant meals and carry out cost a small fortune. Cook at home. Those little things can really add up. Best of luck.

Well, I wish you tremendous luck with that. I was pretty much set a while back, but made some unwise investments and some very imprudent "loans" (or should I say
"gifts") to some nihilistic "buddies"
of mine. Now I'm stuck in the very
same rut as you are-living from one paycheck to the next. And like yourself, I too have a plan.
I shall bounce back on top. And I
truly pray that the same shall happen for you. In fact, I know it will. Love, peace and happiness.

Yes--I am totally living paycheck to paycheck. I'm 22 and working two jobs to support myself.

Right now we're pretty much paycheck to paycheck. If I won $1000 and used all of it to pay medical bills, I'd still be deep in debt. Doctor seems to be another word for vulture around here.

I am definitely living paycheck to paycheck...when I am tempted to go on one of my "spending sprees," I have to remind myself that I am just one or two paychecks away from being homeless!

Not quite, but one false move and I would be. I live in a state in the US in which we pay the highest taxes, have a high cost of living, but we make damn near the least of any of the states. Gotta love it. Oh and it's a college town/military town. Housing is ridiculous. I hate this country.
