See those people that complain about that. They are living outside of their means. They probably have way too many expenses so the large amount of money they are making is going right out of the door at the same time. They most likely have keeping up with the Joneses syndrome.

You live comfortably inside of your means and know how to make ends meet but not everyone is like that. I know what it's like to be super poor and eating sandwishes(sandwiches with mayonaise in it and you wish you had some meat or cheese to put inside of it.) from growing up. I've always been pretty good with my budget and the handling of my finances because I told myself that I don't ever want to be that poor when I'm living on my own. I know how to live within my means like you do. Some people are horrible with their finances or feel the need to keep up with their neighbors and friends when it comes to certain luxuries.
