    I can afford to miss a paycheck. In fact, I’m currently planning for a four month stretch where I’ll need to live off of savings. Thinking that I, with my 11 year old honda fit, 10 year old PC, and my 2 roommates, am in the top 20% of this stat is very alarming.

      Man, if I could split my living expenses with TWO other people? 🤤 Currently I’m paying them for 2 kids and a husband (who recently wrecked our only car).
