Can you believe that? These folks are making it rain every payday and still struggling to keep the lights on. It’s like they’re playing their own version of the Monopoly game, but instead of passing go and collecting $200, they’re passing go and praying the electricity doesn’t get shut off.
But get this – according to a study from The LendingClub, forty percent of consumers have “super-prime credit scores.” So, they’ve got the super-prime credit, but they’re still pinching pennies like they’re trying to crack a secret code to financial freedom. It’s like having a Lamborghini in the driveway but hitching a ride to the grocery store because you can’t afford gas. Who comes up with these studies?

Now, let’s talk about credit card debt. A study published by PYMNTS revealed that only 43% of consumers are successfully paying off their credit card balances, while a staggering 65% are struggling to make a dent in their debt. It’s like trying to bail out a sinking ship with a teaspoon – you’re not getting very far and you’re probably getting wet in the process.
But wait, there’s more! According to Unusual_Whales, even Americans earning over $100,000 a year are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s like watching a high-stakes poker game where everyone is bluffing their way through life, hoping they don’t get called out for being broke.
And let’s not forget about President Biden’s so-called “Bidenomics.” According to House Republicans, the average American is feeling the pain of an $11,400 increase just to maintain their quality of life. It’s like playing a game of “How much can we squeeze out of the American people before they revolt?”
So, while the stock market may be soaring, the average American is feeling the squeeze. It’s like watching a magic show where the magician is making all the money disappear, and the audience is left wondering if they’ll ever get their turn to pick up the cash.
