Youre assuming people put in the effort to know where there money actually goes. A lot of americans have never made a budget. They get to the end of the month/pay period, see how much money they have left, and go spend it.
And like someone else mentioned, its not always consistent. Different months have different needs and income can fluctuate. And they certainly never account for that
