Essentials

Ren runs up: six-figure earners say their pay only covers essentials. Granny Ume: so they told a pollster, last summer (64% agreed). Mio: is that a lot of money? Granny: enough to feel stretched; one in three say so, and of everyone, nearly half (46%). Poko has acorns.

The figure comes from a Harris Poll of 728 six-figure earners taken in August 2025: 64% agreed that six figures is survival mode, not wealth, and nearly one in three said they were stretched, struggling or drowning, which is less than the 46% of all Americans who said the same.
