Nearly four in ten (39%) of US adults say they worry most or all of the time that their family’s income won’t be enough to meet expenses, according to a new CNN poll. That’s up from 28% who expressed those concerns in December 2021, and it’s similar to the numbers seen during the Great Recession (37%).

To cope, significant shares of Americans said they are adding side jobs, cutting down on driving and putting more expenses on credit cards.

Yeah, you definitely read the article and didn't jump to conclusions at all. Clown.

Groceries are up $1k a month. They've cut streaming and entertainment and started relying on the library. They've stopped driving. They're working 2, 3 jobs. Not sure what shitty kings you're hanging with if this seems luxurious to you.

Lol that guy is crazy, probably has no clue just how expensive having a family is. Listed nothing factual at all, no statistics or avg/median prices, spending data, nothing. Probably regurgitating some fox news shit that if you have A/C and a fridge you're better off than a 15th century peasant.

Hope they get the help they need.
