61% Now Living Paycheck to Paycheck

August 1, 2022 Leave a Comment

Unrelenting inflation is driving up costs, leaving more Americans living paycheck to paycheck. Inflation has been causing economic hardship for workers across all income levels. As of June, 61% of Americans — roughly 157 million adults —lived paycheck to paycheck, according to a new LendingClub report. That’s up from 58% who reported living paycheck to paycheck in May. A year ago, the number of adults who felt stretched too thin was 55%. CNBC reports:

Even top earners have been struggling to make ends meet, the report found. Of those earning $200,000 or more, 36% reported living paycheck to paycheck, a jump from the previous month. 

Another recent survey, from consulting firm Willis Towers Watson, estimated 36% of those earning $100,000 or more said they were living paycheck to paycheck.

Taken together, this data shows Americans are shelling out more to cover their monthly expenses, making it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. As a result, they’re dipping into their cash reserves and nearly half are falling deeper in debt.
