Some people have to, and that is understandable. For a young person or a college student it is hard to save.
It's not just young people and college students. I am financially worse off now than I have been since I was in my twenties (and I'm 44). I have exhausted my savings from when I was in my thirties and early forties, and the money I saved from my short-lived good paying jobs here. I also have around $15,000 in credit card debt (most of that debt was from moving expenses, car repairs, and dental bills), and my car has over 100,000 miles on it. If I have to have another car in the near future, I will have to cash in my 401k to get it. :frown1: I have been close to homelessness recently - got an eviction notice and had to ask my parents for money to cover the rent. And no, I don't go crazy spending. It all goes for bills and food. You just can't live on unemployment benefits...
