About 36% of U.S. adults say they have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts.
For analysis of the political views of that media: https://ground.news/article/over-half-of-americans-say-theyre-not-even-close-to-financial-freedom
If the respondents are defining “financial freedom” of course they’re going to say they don’t have it.
I make a decent salary and I would still say I don’t have financial freedom.
No matter how much money I have, I won’t be financially free until the day I officially RETIRE. As long as I have to work, I’m not free.
That’s because financial freedom is defined by social safety net (for non-bourgeoisie).
It’s not something that you earn as an individual, but achieved as a society.
