Paycheck to Paycheck
I read this great article in my local paper, The St Petersburg Times, yesterday. They are doing an occasional series in the Sunday Money section called "paycheck to paycheck". What a role model this guy is for his little girl! He is a single Dad who works, is going to college, and is, like most Americans, living paycheck to paycheck. Unlike most Americans, he actually budgets his money, and after all is paid for, has $5 a day left to live on. And do you know what he said about living on $5 a day? "It beats being in debt". What an inspiration he is!

Inspiring story. He's making a great attempt to get out of his situation, and will most likely not be "paycheck to paycheck" in a few years. He's got to stop spending all his money at the fair though.

Wow!!
What a story. Like he said it is better than being in debt. Budgeting is hard enough compounded by debt collectors calling you it is worse.

He has to give his daughter normal life sometimes. Spending money on a fair is not bad.
