Living Paycheck to Paycheck

Way too many people live paycheck to paycheck and are unable to take care of any emergency that might arrive. These people just never seem to have any left over money when the next paycheck comes. These people are usually the ones who just don’t realize where their money is going. How about that morning coffee you stop for on the way to work each morning. Do they realize if they add up 5 coffees a week that it can be as much as $20 a week, that is $80 a month, or more. How about making coffee at home and taking it with you in a coffee mug that is made for the car?
Lunch too is another cost that many see as just part of the day. Eating out cost three or four times more than if you brought your own lunch. You can bring leftovers from last night’s dinner with you to work. Almost all work places have a microwave so you don’t have to have a cold lunch.
Entertainment is the same story. Rent a movie and make popcorn at home instead of going to the theater. Meeting friends after work for a drink just to socialize can be done at home too and not cost half as much. It would also be more relaxed to be in your home than a noisy bar.
