Living paycheck to paycheck means you are spending literally your entire paycheck on necessities and stupidities, not saving. The biggest problem with the pay check to pay check living is the stress it causes on you and your family. When you finally reach the point where you are no longer counting the days until you get that next check you are much more relaxed and happy. @Samurai that is budgeting to a $0 balance, not living paycheck to paycheck.

Now everyone knows they WHY, it is the HOW they seem to be lacking. I think that just comes down to dilligence & sacrifice and possibly an extra job. All your points are certainly valid.

It sounds as though you're employing a hard core budgeting strategy as opposed to literally living at or above your means.

It's what I call the "Going Broke To Win Big" strategy. Feel free to google it. Everytime I get my income I flush everything but the most razor thin of margins to my Savings Bank and my Debt Bank. I know exactly where I can spend money and where I cannot. I hear what you are saying from this article. However, living on my "Going Broke" strategy has literally earned me at least $10,000 more a year for the past 8 years. It starts adding up and it feels great! See you at FS one day. Best.
