Living paycheck to paycheck is a fact of life for many young people in today's workforce, but it doesn't have to be, says financial advisor Michael Rubin, author of the book “Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck.”

He says a key to breaking out of the cycle is managing cash flow.

“At the end of the day, what you really have is your savings as the result of just two things: your income and your spending,” Mr. Rubin says.

Mr. Rubin says many young people make a fundamental error in thinking that ever-increasing income will pull them out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.

Another, he says, is in picking the wrong kind of financial advisor.
