Even as inflation continues to cool into the second half of 2024, many Americans say they’re still struggling to make ends meet.

Roughly one-third of U.S. workers say they’re living paycheck to paycheck and have nearly no money for savings after paying their monthly bills, according to a survey from personal finance website Bankrate.

      It’s still raining, but it’s not raining as hard as it was a while ago. Grass is still wet.

      FTFY

        I Agree. Like that better.

        And to be fair, the paycheck to paycheck thing has been going on for generations. It’s fucked up.

        And historically, it rains over 90% of the time.

        Nah, because it’s actually getting better as wages are outpacing inflation. There was just a lot of rain and it’s going to take a long ass time to dry.
