They could but sometimes it's difficult to ascertain. Their take-home pay could cover rent, but maybe they are not maxing out their 401(k)/403(b), IRA, etc.

I know a lot of my friends are not saving for retirement since the bulk of their pay goes to cover rent, utilities, and food.

Yeah that’s what I suspected. It’s scary how many people are in huge credit card debt too and you’d never know it.
