What Are You Thinking About?

i am confused.
doesn't a salaried worker get a paycheck?

Yes. But, living paycheck to paycheck means you're totally dependent on getting the next paycheck because you don't earn much. Plus, you don't have anything else to pay your expenses with. One late paycheck and you're in trouble.

A salaried worker will not necessarily depend on the next paycheck because the take-home pay could be more than enough to cover all expenses and still have plenty of leftover funds. A late paycheck wouldn't be a problem.

sabi na nga iba ang interpretation ni doc sa "paycheck to paycheck"

para kay doc lahat ng tao na swelduhan paycheck to paycheck so kahit CEO paycheck to paycheck parin

When Americans say a person lives paycheck to paycheck that means the person doesn't have extra money so he's entirely dependent on the next paycheck

usually one should have an emergency fund equivalent to 3-6 months of living expenses in case something comes up but those living paycheck to paycheck don't have such a fund

ung mga magaling magtipid di nila nauubos ang sweldo nila so pagdating ng sunod na sweldo may tirang pera pa sila

di nila gagalawin ang bagong sweldo pag di pa nauubos ung naunang sweldo

kaya madami sila natatabing pera

ung ganyan di natin matatawag na living paycheck to paycheck

I think sa Pinoy ang term eh "isang kahig isang tuka"?

If I should start selling online (bags, shoes, make up and toiletries etc) It's so cheap sa Wisconsin, baba ng tax hehehe.

i think i should have stuck to my original statement,
"the us is a nice place to live in, if one has a stable, well-paying job.".

I can’t get it. In the US, people there have very good education & inspite of that, there are so many people on welfare & homeless. I think the competition is so great, the pressure & expectation is so high that people eventually break. Is it true that among the homeless are professionals who lost everything?

I was talking to a filipina studying in the US for college. She wanted to move back since she didn’t like the idea of getting a Student Loan. She said usually, your’e way into your 40’s before you fully pay for it & only then can you be financially free.

Just got me thinking, mini and Kags never interacted ever here in the board. Never quotes each other's posts. Never addresses each other even. [emoji23]
