nearly 24% of all households are classified as living paycheck to paycheck this year…That share is slightly higher than last year…

    All of low-income US households are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s the very definition of low-income.

      this seems strange to me. I feel like they are not including people who moved back in with their parents as they are no longer living paycheck to paycheck but can’t afford to have a place of their own or other things like that.
