The Hidden Cost of Living Paycheck to Paycheck
Aug 24, 2025
Why It’s More Expensive to Be Broke
Most people assume that living paycheck to paycheck just means being short on savings. In reality, it’s much more costly. Overdraft fees, payday loans, high-interest credit cards, and late-payment penalties eat away at hard-earned income — often costing households thousands of dollars per year.
