Paycheck To Paycheck

"If you're living from paycheck to paycheck, you're living beyond your means." When I tell others this they tend to get angry at very high extremes, but then what do I know? I'm just a hard working blue collar Joe whose bank account is never low. I've had all of the same responsibilities, such as paying my debts and raising a family, yet all of my peers are filing for bankruptcy.
