MAN LIVING FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK & CAN’T SAVE MONEY, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS = DIE

Is anyone else struggling to save money?

I’ve been stressed out as hell these past couple years as I’ve seen inflation eat into my ability to save, and looking at all the crap that’s happening around the world is just making things worse.

I used to save between 25 and 30% of my take home every month pre covid and now I barely save the 10-12% or so.

It sucks living basically paycheck to paycheck. I don’t get paid for another 11 days and I’m already dry. I’m sitting here thinking about how the hell im going to afford it if something comes up within the next week and a half…

What the hell is this world coming to? Are all of us millennials and Gen Z people just doomed to get f-ed over by the higher costs of living

1. Honestly, I’ve got nothing super encouraging to say. Just that I feel the exact same way. I thought something was wrong with me for not being able to save much. I put maybe $50-75 in my bank account every 2 weeks for each paycheck. I’m trying to pay off debt and it’s nearly impossible because I’m trying to save too.
   I hope things get better for us soon. Living paycheck to paycheck is so rough rn.
2. You are not alone. I don’t even have a savings account. Ugh. It’s tough.
3. Wish I had advice worth sharing for everyone in this same situation… just want you to know you’re not alone!
   We’re in our 30s with 2 kids. The cost of literally everything has gone so high that we couldn’t afford to fix our home. Our savings account has a total of $0.03.
   I know what you mean about what you’re gonna do if something comes up before pay day. Living paycheck to paycheck really sucks. Keep your head up, friend!
