78% of USA workers live paycheck to paycheck

[Evmetro]

I'd bet that 78% or more of the folks living paycheck to paycheck are lefties.

I built my own house, so didn't have a Mortgage.

Prove it.

I used to have an employee who rented everything. His house, car, his tools, uniform, telephone, washer and dryer. And his wife would not cook. They had two kids and a pile of menus from restaurants all over town. Every Friday he spent the afternoon driving round town paying bills with cash. I pay everything with a credit card and he'd ask me "how do you afford the interest?". He could not understand that the issuing bank pays me 1, 2, sometimes 4 or even 5 percent just to use it.

Another guy would run out of money on Wednesday or Thursday and go hungry until Friday afternoon when he got paid. Then he'd drink all weekend, at bars of course, and eat out every meal until he ran out of money again.

These guys and their friends were always asking to "borrow" money from me and each other. They never intended to pay any of it back.

how do people live like that

that is mind boggling.

For many, it's what they saw growing up and think it's normal and how everyone does it.

I would think 'Government' workers live pretty close to the line since they think they will have a job forever.

Not so sure about that!

Prove it.

LOL I don't have to 'prove it'. I could care less if you believe me or not. Here, I'll share something else with you. When I got the first house built, I built a second house. I mortgaged the first house and used the money to build the second. I turned the first house into a Duplex and the the Tenants paid the Mortgage through their Rents. In effect, the second house was 'free'.

Not at all. Had customers for years. Not once has anything remotely close to your bad management ever happened.

I wish more had taken advantage of you. You don't sound like you know how to manage a business.

How so? I did some floor work for someone, paid my helper, and paid for sandpaper and polyurethane. I got half up front and billed them for the rest. When they failed to pay, I filed a lien. What exactly could have been done differently? You are a dumbass racist idiot

This is the practice of most contractors, sorry you got stiffed. Was it Trump? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Most workers live from pay check to pay check everywhere, and most bosses' arselickers pretend it is all their own fault for not being clever thieves.

Yet you refuse to provide anything to back up what you say you did. Anyone can claim something. The only thing you've proven is you're a good storyteller.

Perhaps those doing so should manage their money better.

It is not important what people make, it is important what they save.

We can agree on something ...

Sounds like the problem is with you being unable to manage what you do.
