Why parents with young children are reporting a dramatic drop-off in their financial well-being
The Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking found a decline in the percentage of parents living with children under age 18 who felt financially secure, dropping from 69% in 2022 to 64% in 2023. That was also down from a record high of 75% in 2021.
So … @89th , @Aqua-Letifer , how are you feeling?

We are part of the majority (64%). We worked hard, and saved hard, and tried to make smart decisions (having 3 kids is a financially risky decision these days!). but still... we are fortunate to not feel the financial pressures that 36% of the country feels.
Also, I'm not surprised. Child care costs is a massive burden these days, plus housing, plus college... all 3 of those cost buckets have vastly outpaced the average income. And don't even get me started about McDonald's!

I mean…costs were already exploding during the bush and Obama years, and really took off at the end of Trump, so one could say Biden had stopped the bleeding?

Don't know what your smoking, but it's powerful stuff.
You forget, during those years I wasn't some craven, nerditic college student, jerking off in the bathroom after getting turned down on Saturday night. I was a working man, paying bills and putting my kids through college.
I don't have a plethora of horseshit graphs and junk data, but I knew what cars, groceries, clothes and utilities cost.

Not defending Trump's dumping money into the economy, but the inflation rate when Biden took office was 1.9%.

Oh, I wake up with my balls about an inch away from the bandsaw every morning, so inflation's just a nice extra.

https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/how-much-you-need-to-earn-in-every-state-to-buy-a-home/
Homebuyers in nearly half of the country need to earn at least six figures to be able to purchase a home.
Nationally, the typical household would need to earn $99,000 to buy a median-priced home of $415,500 in February, according to the most recent Realtor.com
data. This also accounts for property taxes and insurance costs, and assumes a 10% down payment. -

Another "revision."
That is probably a good thing. Means that the economy is not growing so fast, which is what the Central Bank is looking for.
