What Are You Thinking About?

it's easy to live from paycheck to paycheck, if one is sure that the paycheck days arrive with un-failing regularity.
the united states is a nice place to live in, if one has a stable, good-paying job.

I think you mixed up salaried worker (and pension) with living paycheck to paycheck. Living paycheck to paycheck is never good as uls have stated.

Hi Cathy. Yes, I have relatives in the US who lived from paycheck to paycheck. Lalu na noong nagka-recession (pre-Clinton Presidency). Our relatives in the PH had to send them money kasi they were laid-off from work. Eh yung pang toll fee nga hindi alam kung paano babayaran.

Now they're doing a lot better pero ang hirap nung pinag-daanan. Savings was not part of their vocabulary.

My cousins all went to serve in the US Armed Forces (Navy and Marines) so they could avail of free tertiary schooling.

Why AMERICANS are BROKE and FAT - YouTube

^^

didn't watch the video

but easy to explain why many poor people in America are obese

it's coz it's expensive to eat healthy in America

in low income areas you can't find fresh produce but fast food is everywhere

fastfood is really cheap in America



if you're a low income parent it's more affordable to feed your kids burgers and soda everyday

in low income areas they only have convenience stores and dollar stores and the only food you can buy are packaged and processed food and soda which is really cheap

well, in yesterday's Sunday Mass, the ubiquitous adidas, swooshes, and onitsukas, simply weren't there in noticeable numbers.
or maybe they're at the eating places...?
