You sly little devil, you thought my headline was about, uh, you know. Sorry to disappoint. Size, in this case, refers to paychecks. According to this story over 20% of people that make more than $100,000 a year report living paycheck to paycheck. For those of you who are math challenged that’s more than one out of every five.
Of course the story features the predictable advice from personal finance "gurus" and you can skip that. I mean who doesn’t know that you should track all your expenses, eliminate unnecessary expenses, stop trying to keep up with the neighbors, forego that daily double mint mocha latte frappacino swirl and have your 401-K contributions automatically taken from your paycheck? Apparently a bunch of people who make enough money that they should know better.
For my kids I offer this advice: your mother is a genius at managing money, your dad’s the idiot who spends it. Listen to your mother, always.
Oh, and if you run a small biz or are a big earner and need a money managing guru to put your finances in order then give me a shout. I know just the person to help you out.
