The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows buried a report showing that most Americans currently live paycheck to paycheck as the cost of living continues to skyrocket.
Fintech marketplace bank LendingClub released a report March 3, which stated that “[t]he number of consumers living paycheck to paycheck has increased steadily since April 2021 and was 64% in January 2022 – 12 percentage points higher than April 2021.” It got worse: “The data show[] that 48% of consumers earning more than $100,000 per year reported living paycheck to paycheck in January 2022 — up from 42% in December 2021.”
Of course, such news could be politically disastrous for President Joe Biden’s administration, so ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News ignored the story altogether during their March 3, March 4, March 7, March 8 and March 9 broadcasts.

I never lived like that even when I was poor. The narrative on both sides seemed one sided. Unable to pay $400 for an emergency room visit? Tell me at what age something is wrong. How about a $5k emergency at age 50? My brother in law came to his sis(my wife) for the money. Paid back $100/mo for 4 years.

We make about 130K per year, and I still put 22k a year in my 457b, and a few thousand in the Roth.

There’s power in saying I can’t afford something-victimology. That puts the burden/solution on the haves who just might have been taking care of business all along.

Well if you go with the 81 million they “say” voted it would be approximately 51,840,000 million of them.....
Well, if you save too much, you may very well be living paycheck to paycheck!
The demographic that will suffer worst is the working poor. Seems like the Demoncrats WANT to drive them onto welfare.
That’s a good point.
