    We asked respondents to describe their current income situation.

    You mean 40% of forbes readers live paycheck to paycheck?!

    This may surprise you but not everyone reads forbes.

    (selection bias)

      Lots of articles are saying 60 to 69%. CNBC, Barrons, LendingClub. I can’t find a better source but… 40% from a rich person’s mag like forbes is just too much man. I would estimate 55% to 70%, so 80% doesn’t seem that far off.
