Consumer confidence about personal finances just crashed to 66 points—haven't seen numbers this grim since the 2008 meltdown. Strip out that crisis? We're staring at the worst financial sentiment in modern US history.
People can't afford what they used to. Groceries, rent, gas—everything's biting harder. This isn't just a dip. It's a full-blown affordability squeeze that's rewriting how Americans see their money.

2008 wasn’t even this bad; Americans are really going to have nothing left to live on.

So it's 66 points, huh? That's hilarious, even worse than 2008. What are they trying to do?

Wait, 66 points? That’s even worse than 2008? Americans are really going to be dirt poor now. We crypto folks over here better stock up on food, haha.

66 points? And that's in the US... When the stories of struggle at the bottom are turned into numbers, this is what it looks like. For ordinary people like us, just living really feels like playing on hell difficulty mode.
The average American wallet is hurting right now.
