    To be clear you cannot budget yourself out of a job that is paycheck to paycheck…

    You got “ahead” because you got a job that paid enough to save period.

      Sure. But many people who think they’re paycheck to paycheck are only that way to lack of proper budgeting.

      Like you can be “p2p” making minimum wage, or six figures.

        Sometimes your job is crime and it still ain’t pay enough for savings.

        Just ask my drug dealer. Times is tough for everyone out there.
