    Because I’ve always lived paycheck to paycheck. Even my parents did when I was a kid. My rent is 70% of my paycheck. What else ya want me to fucking do?

      They are going after people up the income ladder tbh.

      Post 2008, we prolly already had half the population at break even point. Now it got tonbe pushing 60-70%.
