Nice article, I like the point of tracking one's expenses because I have experienced a lot of people telling me that they have spend a lot of money but they do not have any idea on what they do with the money, so i think by tracing your expenses you will be able to make sound decisions and you will see clearly where your money is going and you can make amendments.

Another point to escape living paycheck to paycheck is to ultimately start a business you can control this can give you a lot of leverage and you ill be bale to control the variables, starting a business is not easy nut is living paycheck to paycheck easy too?, with unwavering efforts and hard work you can gain traction, no one is saying one has to be the next Bezos, you can actually achieve a significant amount of success by starting a business.
