The sad thing about the paycheck to paycheck consumer is the fact that if you're living paycheck to paycheck now, what would your answer to the following question be: what happens when things inevitably end up going sour, what would/will the paycheck to paycheck consumer do then?

The two studies I've mentioned at the beginning of the paycheck to paycheck rant:
