    Nearly half means not half, so that’s better than 50/50 odds to not be living paycheck to paycheck. That’s not really that lucky, statistically speaking

      How does that not still make the statement in the meme true? Because I think it still does. If you’re not living paycheck-to-paycheck it doesn’t mean you are able to amass $5000 in savings, it means you’re not at risk of going into debt (or at least more debt than you’re probably in thanks to things like student loans).
