minus-square𝕯𝖎𝖕𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-210 months ago We asked respondents to describe their current income situation. You mean 40% of forbes readers live paycheck to paycheck?! This may surprise you but not everyone reads forbes. (selection bias)
minus-square𝕯𝖎𝖕𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·10 months agoLots of articles are saying 60 to 69%. CNBC, Barrons, LendingClub. I can’t find a better source but… 40% from a rich person’s mag like forbes is just too much man. I would estimate 55% to 70%, so 80% doesn’t seem that far off.
