    but most Americans live paycheck to paycheck

    This just seems like living outside of your means to me. Make better life choices so you’re not living paycheck to paycheck.

        What is the average salary for a government employee? People buy all kinds of shit they don’t need then get surprised Pikachu when the credit card bill comes. Sorry, but I’m in the real world. I see it everyday.

      Sure. Just as soon as wages catch up with the increases to the cost of living. Something that hasn’t happened in my lifetime.
