Over 30% of Americans have negative net worth (more debt than equity).

Some recent surveys show 67% are living paycheck to paycheck ( https://www.newsweek.com/2025-rise-americans-living-paycheck-2128753 ).

Yeah, it's worse than you think it is.

That doesn't exclude the existence of 10% having a family income over 300k a year. 20% making 250k a year.

Yes, wealth disparity is not something to celebrate

Never said it was. As usual folks are reading into my comment pointing out the reality and they, in their heads, have immediately created an entire persona in their heads thinking that I'm pointing out anything else but the dumb assumption that everyone in a nice house and car is swimming in debt.
