Nearly two-thirds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck during COVID pandemic

Let's be honest /biz how many people really make over 100k a year? People post here images of crypto gains, bank accounts but i know the trick, you edit the numbers in HTML (page source ) and then take a picture, your not fooling anyone here. Post real cash with a timestamp, if you have more than 50k, then you really made it because people don't have that kind of money saved, its all fake everyone i know is broke.

Making 100k a year isn’t even impressive anymore... That’s like making 50k a year in 1990

Oh my God! That's awful!

So glad that's not me. They shouldn't have chosen to be poor I guess!

Most of the people “living paycheck to paycheck” have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in their 401ks that they can dip into in case of an emergency. It’s not like they have literally 0 dollars left unless they don’t get another paycheck.

They also have tens of thousands of dollars in investments and equity they can liquidate if they are really strapped. Most working people have potentially tens of thousands of dollars they can tap into at a moment’s notice, they just have no savings in their bank account because they invest it right away.

imagine thinking that most people have tens of thousands of dollars sitting in an account. Most of the wagies I know don't even bother with their 401k

A postdoc friend of mine basically timed his purchases so that he's down to under a hundred dollars each month. Thankfully he's gotten into pokemon card investing and stock trading lately.
