In 2026, about two-thirds of U.S. consumers are living paycheck to paycheck, driven by high living costs, growing household debt, and wages that aren't keeping pace with inflation. The average household spends over $6,500 monthly on essentials like housing and transportation, with rent and car payments at record highs. Total household debt reached $18.8 trillion, with credit card debt causing significant financial strain due to high interest rates.
