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.

    Why would you put more on credit??? The interest rates on credit cards are fucking criminal.

      Necessities are necessary. If you don’t have the money for said necessities, what do you do? Borrow money, and worry about it tomorrow.
