Many Americans regularly worry they won’t be able to make ends meet.

Nearly four in ten (39%) of US adults say they worry most or all of the time that their family’s income won’t be enough to meet expenses, according to a new CNN poll. That’s up from 28% who expressed those concerns in December 2021, and it’s similar to the numbers seen during the Great Recession (37%).

To cope, significant shares of Americans said they are adding side jobs, cutting down on driving and putting more expenses on credit cards.

    I’m not worried about it. I just can’t pay my bills unless I get another job or two, in which case I’ll lose my day job which takes attentive focus to do well at.

    I work full time. I vote and I pay my taxes. The consequences for people with money of the death of the social contract are not my problem anymore.
