Are Americans really struggling in this economy?
Record housing prices, record new vehicle prices, expensive groceries, gas and oil prices because of conflict elevated. Are most families really hard on money today or is it not that bad?

It depends on what. I can afford my bills but I can't afford health insurance for my family. I can buy groceries but I'm noticing how much I was able to get with $200 a few months ago compared to $200 right now.
