    Wasn’t there a mid-century sci-fi story about that? Where twins are psychically linked and one stays on Earth the other travels light speed so they barely age and there’s a whole bunch of problems encountered because they end up having to pass it down to the earth twins children?

    There’s a thing called lifestyle creep. You may not necessarily be living paycheck to paycheck on the bare minimum. Going out with friends, having the latest phone, having hobbies, if you cut out all fun you may be able to save up significantly. You can also live like a bum in the least accommodating space you can stand. Being comfortable is expensive, but not everybody wants to be uncomfortable for long stretches just to fuck off to the Bahamas for a month every few years. That or credit card debt.
