Empathically, NO...you cannot make (clear, take home, save) $2000 in two months by selling your ‘stuff’ on eBay and delivering pizzas as a second job.
And anyone who believes so, or believes that anyone living ‘hand to mouth’ is lazy, has ‘big screen tvs and cell phones’ etc., has lived a truly blessed life.
Any family is one major illness away from the situation described. Sadly I know this first hand.

Yet there are people that are doing it every day.
“And anyone who believes so, or believes that anyone living ‘hand to mouth’ is lazy, has ‘big screen tvs and cell phones’ etc., has lived a truly blessed life.”
Or, rather than “blessed” they have lived like no one else so that now the get to LIVE like no one else. It takes a lot of sacrifice and hard work to get there.
“Any family is one major illness away from the situation described. Sadly I know this first hand.”
Not “any family” but those that are not properly prepared or planning for preparation.
Yes, what you describe is “normal” in this country, but with hard work and proper planning, anyone can start being weird.
