As someone who left paycheck to paycheck life, I do struggle to emphasize with the paycheck to paycheck class.

I didn't buy luxuries like alcohol or fast food, I didn't even have enough money for that.

But this class would find a way to go on vacation, buy juice, and get takeout.

I'm long gone from that problem but I'm still frugal.

Until that class stops buying needless luxuries, I do struggle to emphasize.
