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.

    Who is paying $1,000 of groceries a month?

    <nervously raises hand> someone with a family, perhaps.

      Right there with you. I can’t leave Costco without spending at least $200. I go every week. This doesn’t account for target. I’ve cut Starbucks out entirely though so Im pretty much set for retirement.
