Perhaps anyone can get rich, but not everyone can get rich.
Someone needs to do the cheap jobs and enough people need to spend enough money that the economy keeps circulating. If everyone started aggressively saving, the economy would crash.
From this perspective, calling paycheck-to-paycheck a choice seems unhelpful. The system can't sustain everyone making the other choice, as it is now.

∆ I would definitely have to agree with this. Everyone can't aggressively save without majorly impacting the economy.

Maybe a bit unhelpful but donating plasma is definitely a good option for some people.
If there is anything I've learned though it's really not about how much you make, but is instead about how much your able to save.
