Nearly 2/3rds of households live paycheck to paycheck.




This isn’t new. In many cases, it’s not even an earning issue, it’s a buying stupid shit with money they don’t have issue. George Carlin was all over that decades ago.

You seem to have missed the part that said 95% of income goes strictly to basic needs.

Nonesense.  Many low-income and middle-income consumers are focusing on essentials, travel, and smaller purchases while postponing larger purchases due to elevated costs for things like groceries, gas and housing.

Economists describe this as a split-tier, or “K-shaped,” economy: higher-income households continue to spend relatively freely, while middle- and lower-income families have less purchasing power and are cutting back sharply on discretionary goods.

I heard low and middle income people are splurging on things like Internet, air conditioning, Casey's pizza, and Marie Callender's frozen dinners.

Trump has heard your call, and he's on the job. Can't live paycheck to paycheck if you lose your job and have no paycheck!

You have to have Internet to do almost anything these days. Why can’t people just suffer when it’s 97 with a heat index of 106! Especially old people!
