Not surprised. Americans have a LOT of debt and barely any savings.
Many spend 80% of what they make on housing thanks to globalism.
If we completely got rid of welfare, there would be millions homeless and we could show to the world what a shethole this country has become thanks to greedy business owners that sold us out to globalism.
Yes.............................more hours, more money, more health care, more wealth...you get the picture.
My only worries is supporting those that work less hours,have less money and are living longer. That
is truly stressful on the taxpayer.
You need those people working in order to fatten your stocks you are living off of Mr Retired.
They do not make you money if they are not working.
That is what happens when our government is unbelievably corrupt and no longer works for the average person. The so called American Dream was put on the chopping block and began it's slow death beginning with the pile of horse crap aka... trickle down voodoo economics.
Yes indeed.
Arguably the process started immediately after the civil rights movement when the Dixiecrats defected to the Republican Party; thus ending the New Deal Coalition that protected ordinary citizens.
Until we put together a New New Deal Coalition, things will continue to get worse.
Steal, lie and cheat as many as you can. Live in a mega mansion, talk down to everyone and never have to answer to anyone. Rob as many people on your way and treat everyone as if they're less than you.
Think this is funny? It's not. It's how 99% of the really rich live. You don't/can't get really rich 'saving'.
Americans are a morally-crap based people in a dying and decaying country.
Millionaires did not get where they are by spending their money, but by spending other peoples money. There were some dinner events meant for the poor downtown and you had millionaires showing up in BMWs.

Presidents too did not get where they are ...
Quote:
Kenansville, N.C. — Donald Trump, under fire for questionable use of charitable foundation money, says he likes the concept of OPM: Other People's Money.
"It's called OPM," Trump told supporters in eastern North Carolina on Tuesday night. "I do it all the time in business. It's called Other People's Money ... There's nothing like doing things with other people's money because it takes the risk — you get a good chunk out of it and it takes the risk."
Trump was talking about his plan to have Persian Gulf allies finance "safe zones" for Syrian refugees.
They also came just hours after more revelations about spending by the Trump Foundation.
The Washington Post reported that Trump spent $258,000 from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits involving his businesses.
One case involved unpaid fines over the height of a flagpole at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. The other involved the settlement of a lawsuit over a golf contest.

Based on an analysis of this subject pool, researchers found that U.S. respondents aged 15 to 49 were more stressed, worried and angry than their older counterparts. Those in the lowest 20 percent of the income bracket reported higher stress levels than those in the top 20 percent. Those who disapproved of President Donald Trump were far more likely to experience negative emotions than those who approved of him.
Speaking with Chokshi, Julie Ray, Gallup’s managing editor for world news, says, “We are seeing patterns that would point to a political explanation, or a polarization explanation, with the U.S. data, but can we say that definitively? No.”
We are at "war" in the USA - Leftists say we have lost our Democracy and our Soul and those that live in an Echo Chamber totally believe that ..... no wonder they are "stressed". They tell us that White people are all Racist, that those who voted for the President they refuse to accept are all "White Nationalists" ... no wonder they are "stressed".
Things are not all bad in the USA (despite what the Leftists tell us) - Most of us lead happy lives, despite being told how horrible we are. Family grounds us (as we are told in this survey that is the case in Latin America). I've long thought - it's important where you live more than how you live and they most crucial thing in our lives is how you were raised, how you raise your children.
Do it without BIGOTRY of any sort - it's a main secret to a stress free life.
As Newsweek’s Shane Croucher observes, an impressive 90 percent of Americans polled said they felt respected, while another 82 percent said they had experienced enjoyment the day prior.
Not surprised. Americans have a LOT of debt and barely any savings.
I wouldn't be surprised if you would find that the most stressed out states are ones, like Oklahoma, where the minimum wage is still $7.25.
