About one in three Americans making six-（1. figure ） salaries are worried about paying their bills, according to a new survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
The survey finds a notable increase over the past year of consumers making $100,000 a year or more who are concerned about making （2. ends ） meet over the next 12 months.
A significant share of wealthier Americans are coping with financial （3. pressure ） by （4. cutting ） spending, including dialing （5. back ） restaurant visits and entertainment.
The findings underscore how years of high inflation and elevated borrowing costs continue to squeeze consumers’ budgets — even f?or those at the higher end of the income spectrum.
Nearly a third (30.8%) of consumers making between $100,000 and $149,999 a year are concerned about making （2. ends ） meet in the next six months, according to the Philly Fed survey, which was fielded from March 22 to April 6.
