Until your rent increases or inflation makes your money less valuable or you have a child or you incur some unexpected expense.
Most people don't like living paycheck to paycheck because its stressful. Large businesses are no different. But just because they don't like something doesn't mean a capitalist economy is going to bend over and hand them something. Unlike a planned economy where two year plans forced wasteful industries to continue wastefulness.
