Well, for a minute there, I was almost felt a tinge of sympathy.<\/p>\n

Almost.<\/p>\n

CNBC: More Upper Incomers Living Paycheck to Paycheck<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The centerpiece finding of the above article, I’d say, is this juicy tidbit:<\/p>\n

\n

Thirty percent of workers with salaries of $100,000 or more said they are living paycheck to paycheck, up from 21 percent last year, according to the survey of 4,400 workers nationwide.<\/p>\n

Overall, 61 percent said they always or usually live paycheck to paycheck, up from 49 percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007.<\/p><\/div>\n

I mean, those $100k salaries don’t go as far as they used to. Thankfully, we can be sure that the reason these folks are feeling stretched money-thin is that they’re cramming as much cash as they can into retirement savings, which can leave them FEELING as if they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck.<\/p>\n

\n

Thirty-six percent said they don’t contribute anything to retirement savings, like a 401(k) or a IRA.<\/p>\n

As for short-term savings, 33 percent of those surveyed reported that they don\u2019t put any money aside each month, up from 25 percent in 2008.<\/p><\/div>\n

Okay. Forget I said that.<\/p>\n

We’re screwed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
