    “Living beyond your means” is kind of an insidious term. It is true that if you can’t afford your food or rent you are living beyond your means, but the problem is that that phrase suggests it’s your own fault. There’s no consideration of the fact you might be working two jobs full time and still can’t afford a livable home.
