The majority of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck, a new study finds, with considerable debt loads driving some of them to gamble in an attempt to earn more money.
The study, commissioned by NY Sports Day, found that “more than half [of Americans] (51%) are living paycheck to paycheck right now,” while 42% of Americans “would not be able to cover an unexpected $1,000 expense.”
The study revealed that “on average, Americans are in the red by about $25,139,” while nearly 10% of U.S. citizens “admitted to trying to get out of debt by playing the lottery .”
The majority of generational cohorts in the U.S. are pessimistic about the “financial future” as well, with more than 50% of Gen Xers, Millennials and Gen Zers lacking confidence about their future finances.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
