Citation needed. The doomerism in this thread is so cringe.
62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Perhaps saying most Americans are struggling is doomerism, but what percentage living paycheck to paycheck no longer counts as doomerism and is just a harsh truth? 75%? 90%? Do you think the number of people living paycheck to paycheck is increasing or decreasing this year?

You know the world is not america right?
People are increasingly taking out loans to buy groceries. Nobody does that if they have a better choice.
You demand citations for this, something that has been extensively covered in the news, but also throw around arguments like "absolutely inflated but it’s definitely real value" and "we’re way past the point of tech bubbles popping". Who is cringe here?
Americans are not all people. Its a single country that still buys out all Nintendo switches and cyrbertrucks - so maybe if americans had budgeting classes they wouldn't take payday loans for twinkies? The conjecture here is just mind bogglingly stupid.
Ha, rich
Did I say something untrue?
America has bought out cybertrucks? Nope, not even close. Dunno about switches, but since I've recently seen them on shelves, guessing those haven't been bought out either though.
You know what I meant but sure whatever makes you feel better mate
No, I guess I don't, what did you mean by America has bought out cybertrucks, other than what the words mean?
