Does ANYONE in America live below their means besides me?

I did up to recently, but with the cost of fuel, food, real estate taxes (Florida) and insurance (Florida) going though the roof.

I'm about breaking even now............ time to redo the family budget, cancel some cable, review car insurance levels, maybe sell a car that is rarely used

I was living on about 75 % of my household income
