Tommy: 64% of six-figure earners say their pay only covers essentials (a poll from August 2025). Dougie: a hundred grand is poor now, sweet. Town hall: I'm drowning on one fifty, double it! Abe: Mayor, is a hundred grand a lot? Mayor Dithers: define money. Tommy learned something today: one in three high earners feels stretched; 46% of everybody does. Dougie: then everybody owes me.
The 64% comes from a Harris Poll of 728 six-figure earners taken in August 2025: that share agreed six figures is survival mode, not a sign of wealth, and nearly one in three called themselves stretched, struggling or drowning, against 46% of all Americans; more than half said they would need double their income to feel secure.
