If you have a home (even with a mortgage) and multiple cars paid off, you’re not “paying cheque to paycheque” lol come on.

You could sell the home, you could sell the cars, you could probably get by for a few years not even working at that stage. You’re wealthy.

These people outlined in the aforementioned articles are a missed paycheque away from being homeless. They don’t have assets to pull from or investments to sell as a buffer.
