WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 09: U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) speaks on the Paycheck Fairness Act at the U.S. Capitol on March 09, 2023 in Washington, DC. The Paycheck Fairness Act aims to end the wage gap by closing loopholes that allow pay discrimination based on sex and would protect workers from retaliation for discussing their pay.

The Hill recently put out an article that discussed a study that I think everyone needs to pay attention to. The study was done by CNBC and it showed a few things. It showed that 58% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. It also showed that 70% of Americans are worried about finances. I 100% believe that this is true. Inflation is steadily on the rise, but pay for Americans are staying the same. With AI jumping in and replacing jobs, this can be scary. I remember seeing an article about a McDonalds in Houston that was completely operated by robots. No humans. That is extremely scary to see that robots could be replacing a lot of jobs.
When you add the continuous fear of rising inflation, this could stress a lot of people out. Certainly at least 70%. Companies have been cutting jobs lately and I'm sure that frightens a lot. It frightens me too, but I continue to keep the faith that God will take care of myself and my family. Now is the time to start, if you haven't, continue if you have, making smart investments that will make your money grow. Does this scare you?
