Understanding the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle

Living paycheck to paycheck is characterized by financial stress, which can apply to individuals across various income levels. It is not solely determined by how much one earns, but by how much is retained after expenses. Both high earners and those with lower incomes can find themselves in this cycle, often due to poor spending habits or inadequate income.
