I am part of the 99% and since I graduated and started regular employment have never not had money in the bank, never lived paycheck to paycheck, never. My nest egg has grown every year. I never missed a payment because I did not have the money, only missed payments I just forgot. I had student debt, auto loans and mortgages. The debt was always debt I could afford. I have been laid off but still it was not a huge financial hardship. Anyone working where I work who is barely scraping by must have screwed up big time somewhere along the way. I expect that more than 50% of the 99% are really doing alright and if they are living paycheck to paycheck it was because they decided that was how they wanted to live. Spend it while you have it, Laissez les bons temps rouler. Let the good times roll. They got boats, big trucks, fine houses, motorcycles, ATV's, AR15's 6 burner gas grills, 96" flat screen TV's, Apple I phones, $500 ear buds, 5 kids and give 10% of their income to the Church.
