• Workers making over $100,000 no longer consider themselves “rolling in it”—more than half of six-figure earners no longer feel financially successful. Those with top salaries are shopping at discount grocery stores, and cutting back on dining, clothes, and travel as they try and make ends meet. They’re even stalling major life plans—like renovating their homes, and throwing their weddings. 

Being a six-figure earner once felt like an exclusive club, with the promise of a lavish life—but now those making over $100,000 are feeling the pinch. So much so that they’re even buying their groceries at dollar stores and ditching takeouts.
