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

    Hi, I read the article.

    24% of all households are living paycheck to paycheck, while 29% of low-income households are living paycheck to paycheck this year, according to the article.

    The title should (imho) read “nearly 3 in 10 low income Americans” instead of nearly a third. But, “nearly a quarter” wouldn’t be right either.

    I’m also surprised the number is only 3 in 10…

      You read the article? WTH? I mean who does that? What’s wrong with you?

      LOL. Ummm, yeah thanks for the clarification. I probably should have done that too before commenting, but you pick and choose right? I stand humbly corrected and beg for mercy.
