Living Paycheck to Paycheck

avatar

Have you come across this chart?

Look at the Gen Zs performance! There is an increase of 8% from March last year to this year of those living paycheck to paycheck.
This generation is starting out in their careers. They most likely have lower incomes and a bigger share of consumer debt. They are also more inclined to spend on meals and entertainment while struggling to afford basic bills.

In comparison, the proportion of baby boomers who have nothing left after paying their monthly costs has fallen below 50%. It seems that the boomers, many of whom are retired and live on a fixed income, have reduced their spending to cope with increasing prices.

Living paycheck to paycheck may not necessarily mean financial difficulty. A large proportion of higher earners rely exclusively on their monthly salaries to meet their fundamental commitments in America.

But it will be difficult for people to pay for any unexpected expense, and they will face immediate hardship if their source of income is lost.
In addition, the start of student debt payments, which were delayed during the pandemic, is one that millions will have to face.

Some people may find it difficult to handle future emergency needs, such as education, or student-loan payments when they return, and housing bills, all of which will become more difficult to balance for the average American consumer.

Generally speaking, younger generations will always have more people living paycheck to paycheck. With increased education and experience comes increased opportunities for greater income...on average anyway. If you are a Baby Boomer and living paycheck to paycheck then you are in big trouble.

It must be difficult when you are older like the boomers and still living paycheck to paycheck. Saving is for all ages, for sure! The good thing is that they say that as you get older, your needs are not as much. I wonder if that is true?

If we look ahead a decade from now the reality is baby boomer assets such as houses and stocks will likely be worth less since there will be more people making less money. Trickle down effect of the economy did not work.

So much wisdom in this.
Multiple streams of income is really needed to assist with all the bills rather than depending solely on your pay check.

Very scary to hear people living paycheck to paycheck. Eventually something bad will happen and the party's over! By the way I love all that shiny stuff. Did you survive the transition from vacation to work?

Very disheartening to hear that the
generation Z is up to 65.5% paycheck to paycheck household. @silversaver888…..😮
This was a difficult lesson to learn when Liz and I were first married………
Don’t live beyond your means ……
Create a savings for emergency ……

I don’t get a steady paycheck so I guess that I don’t fit into this formula.

I remember my first pay check and how I felt shocked to see all the deductions taken off my earnings, welcome to the working life!
I needed more hours.

But always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

It's really hard to live on paycheck to paycheck in the current economy. Gen Z's have a lot of learning and work to do.

I hope they learn fast. But is they start saving early enough, they may end up like the millionaire next door!

There is no doubt that some people will still find it difficult to balance their financial life which is a negative part of making financial progress.

This is so true! There are so many in the younger set that MUST have the newest phone, car, or whatever, and will do whatever to get it-even going into debt! The cost of living is going up and up, and the only way to combat that is savvy planning. Some people just don't get that; maybe someday they will.

Thanks for sharing sis! Much love to you!🤗😘💞🌸 !LADY
