  “A paycheck? Those things my tenants use to pay me?”

  How incredibly privileged to not even be able to conceptualize that phrase.

  It is a valid question.

  How exactly do we quantify this concept because if its self reporting, I guarantee it includes people who have larger incomes claiming they are living pay check to pay check. These people should not be lumped with those who are struggling to afford a basic quality of life.

    Paycheck to paycheck can be a pretty broad term. I worked at the bottom rung in healthcare scraping by and had to endure listening to people making 3x what I made talking about when their check was gonna hit the bank. It’s easy to be broke when you have a spending problem

    While people like to dramatize their own Situation, wouldnt it be pretty easy to define it AS people who have as much spending as they have income without being able to save [amount].

    If we want to exclude people who just dont save their money: people who have as much fixed spending as they have income

    I think, if your savings can’t cover your basic needs for a month, you’re in it. If you miss one paycheck, your life basically falls apart. It also means, if you have a sudden cost (car repair, water pipe burst, or illness in the USA) that is more than a monthly paycheck (which in turn is more than your savings), you’re done.

  That 20% are right here in threadiverse, making electoralism posts, and Democratic picks.
  They don’t know what’s a 996. They sure know how to talk about pensions and retirement!

    I know a lot of white people in America who don’t care if Donald Trump is crowned dictator, because they think they’ll be fine. They want America to get as horrible as possible for the working class, because they think it’ll inspire the working class to rise up like Karl Marx said. They complain about the Democratic candidate in every election and say “not good enough, I’m staying home”. They think one starving Gazan child is a good reason to create a thousand more. They give “critical” support to Russia and the CCP, because they think western imperialism is the only kind worth opposing.

    I know a lot of communists. There’s no overlap between the two groups.
