The majority of U.S. adults are living paycheck to paycheck heading into this holiday season, a report shows.
LendingClub’s latest report shows that as of October, 60 percent of adults said they are living paycheck to paycheck. Around 40 percent of consumers consider themselves to be worse off now than in 2022.
Even higher earners are struggling to get by, with 42 percent of those making six figures also living check-to-check under President Joe Biden.
According to a separate CNBC survey, the number of adults struggling to save between checks is up from 58 percent in March.

Maybe so, but they sure are eating well. I can’t find a table at half the restaurants I go to these days.
Well I live paycheck to paycheck too....probably because I always put a bit into savings and my 401k.
Does this make me a bad person?
I've had five jobs over the past year. One of them was a substitute teaching job that lasted two days.
The reason I was fired? I subbed in a high school chemistry class studying reactions. And I told the kids that sodium combusts with water.
The principal said I was teaching them about high explosives.
True story.
WOW
We does all your hard-earned money go???? WASTED through taxes and the hidden taxes of inflation all caused by the $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government which as I repeat so often is THE GREATEST THREAT to our lives, liberties and free pursuits.
NUKE THE $3+ TRILLION UNCONSTITUTIONAL PORTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT or it will nuke us!!!!
Most people live paycheck to paycheck. Most people live very well paycheck to paycheck. People tend to spend what the earn.
Nothing wrong with that
They can have my Credit Card when they pry it from my cold dead hands.
The Ant and the grasshopper, is a story told 2,600 years ago, by Aesop in ancient Greece.
Credit card debt at all-time high. People making minimum payments and running their balances up to the limit.
Yes. Many, if not most are.
One who is actively saving and investing is, by definition, NOT living “paycheck to paycheck”. That term refers to people whose paycheck barely cover expenses, and do not allow for savings and investment.
Pretty close!
One of the steps into socialism. All according to plan.
Have not had a paycheck in a long time.Biden sucks shi*.
There’s a ‘t’ in there.
So it’s better to live in ignorance then I guess, huh? Dang.
But, but, but the media talking heads are always droning on and on about this being the greatest US economy ever.
Gee, my chemistry teacher (cs. 1966) gave me sulfuric and nitric acid for some home experiments plus a small piece of sodium.
That is pretty amazing given that the US labor participation rate is 62.7%.
But don’t most people do this?
