This financial strain is not limited to lower-income households. Higher-income earners are facing similar pressures, driven by expenses such as larger mortgages, property taxes, and childcare. Despite inflation cooling, these daily costs continue to eat up a significant portion of their income.

The report also highlights generational differences, noting that baby boomers and Gen Xers are more affected by paycheck-to-paycheck living.
