The paycheck to paycheck crisis is a harsh reality for millions of Americans, driven by rising rent, inflation, and stagnating wages. In this video, Lisa Cabrera delves into the complexities of this issue, exploring its disproportionate impact on Black families, single parents, and the working class. We examine the effects of layoffs, debt, and the claimed "strong" economy, discussing topics such as the current state of the US economy (0:00), the impact of inflation on working-class families (2:00), and the role of economic leaders in addressing the crisis (5:00). With a focus on economic inequality, financial security, and the survival economy, this video aims to spark a conversation about breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck. Join us as we discuss the realities of financial stress, living wage, and the struggle of the working class, and share your thoughts on how to achieve financial stability in a challenging economic landscape.
