When asked to detail what would make a better life in three to five years, 60% of US adults said greater financial security

Americans may seem increasingly divided on beliefs and values, but in a new survey of more than 30,000 adults from across the country spanning generations and economic classes, a majority of Americans agree there’s a significant barrier to achieving a better life: the rising cost of living.

When asked to describe what a better life in three to five years would look like, 60% of Americans said they wanted greater financial security, according to a survey that was conducted by the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility and the WK Kellogg Foundation in mid-April.

In interviews that accompanied the survey, respondents often defined financial security as being able to afford basic necessities without worry.

          Fucking easy, but if you didn’t know that and assumed I somehow knew what you were asking for…

          I’m not going to accomplish anything trying to help you understand anything

            Interesting answer. I’m not that familiar with pre-nixon presidents, I’ll do some reading on FDR. Thanks for the tip!
