True. We've discussed that here before. Some people don't count what is going into their 401k, for example. So if you are putting 15% of your gross income into your 401k and spending 100% of your take-home, some would call that living paycheck to paycheck. I would not.

However, I think it is important to point out that more money doesn't solve poor money management problems.
