If you're not making a lot of money, budgeting can be pretty tough. These days, for a staggering one-fifth of all American workers—tens of millions of people—it's a nightmare:

[W]orkers are running out of money faster, Salary Finance found.

Roughly 20% of employees regularly run out of money between paychecks, up from 15% last year, according to the survey of more than 3,000 working adults in February.

As a result, about one-quarter of those polled said it's harder to afford necessary expenses and one-third are unable to build savings, issues that are particularly problematic for low-to-moderate income workers.

Waaaait a minute—you mean to tell me that the $1400 checks that the federal government sent to everyone two years ago didn't really matter in the face of soaring inflation?

Well I, for one, am shocked. Maybe if the government issues a bunch more $1400 checks, that'll help cover the gap. You think?

We'll be sure to thank Joe Biden and the Democrats in November!
