Math or Mindset? Why People Live Paycheck to Paycheck

The expression “living paycheck to paycheck” is thrown around a lot.

Most people use it to mean having just enough income to cover the necessities, and research shows it’s an unfortunate reality for millions of Americans.

But the definition is far more complicated, according to PYMNTS, a payments industry publication that’s been tracking people who identify themselves as living paycheck to paycheck since 2020.

PYMNTS found that a consistent majority of Americans consider themselves needing their next paycheck to meet their monthly obligations. But 25% of them do it predominantly by choice, and another 54% consider it a mix of choice and necessity. Just 21% say they have no other option.

And, they’re often high earners. Half of consumers earning $100,000 or more per year reported living paycheck to paycheck as of January, and many said they had no problems paying their bills.

Instead, what keeps them feeling stretched — and less able to save — is the cost of their kids, schooling, and discretionary expenses like vacations, social activities, clothes and eating out, they report. Especially those with higher incomes.

So what? You don’t have to be struggling financially to be caught in a paycheck-to-paycheck mindset. In addition to income, lifestyle and priorities can drive this cycle, and it’s a natural human tendency to spend what you make.

But if you have a choice, know that there are serious tradeoffs to falling into this pattern: On average, people who identify as living paycheck to paycheck have less readily-available savings and are more likely to carry a credit card balance, according to the PYMNTS study. This leaves them especially vulnerable to financial shocks and instability, particularly during economic downturns.

A high overhead can make it harder to build a healthy emergency savings and avoid accumulating high-interest credit card debt. But there are some very straightforward steps that can help break the paycheck-to-paycheck habit: Use a debit card instead of a credit card to help keep your spending in check, and split your direct deposit so a portion automatically goes to a savings account.

April 2025 Market Lookback

By | | Comments Off on April 2025 Market Lookback

Liberation Day Fallout

President Trump finally announced his long-awaited tariff plans on April 2. The specifics shocked investors: A 10% baseline tariff on imports from nearly all trading partners, with “reciprocal” tariffs for specific countries layered on top.

Aimed at reducing trade deficits and boosting domestic industry, these tariffs were in addition to existing tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum. All combined, they would represent the largest tax hike as a percentage of GDP in recent U.S. history.

The market reaction was immediate and severe. Stock indices plunged and market volatility surged, reflecting investor anxiety not seen since early 2020. The U.S. dollar also weakened 4.8% despite its reputation as a safe haven currency, suggesting growth concerns as well as foreign selling of U.S. assets due to rising political risks.

By April 9, the administration had announced a 90-day pause on the higher reciprocal tariffs for most countries, though tit-for-tat retaliation between the U.S. and China led to tariffs on Chinese goods being increased to 145%. That more than offset the reciprocal pause, yet investors focused on the administration appearing to back away from a global trade war; the S&P 500 rebounded 9.5% in one of the best days for stocks since 1927, before rising an additional 2.0% to finish the month.

The Dollar and Stocks

Front-Running the Tariffs

Escalating tariff announcements throughout early 2025 appear to be significantly influencing economic behavior. For instance, durable goods orders jumped by a robust 9.2% in March (vs. consensus of 2.0%), while the goods trade deficit ballooned to $162b (vs. consensus of $145b).

Monthly Goods Trade Balance

This surge has lent credence to the idea that consumers and businesses are “front-running” the tariffs – purchasing goods before anticipated price hikes take effect. A pull-forward of demand could boost spending and make the economy seem stronger in the short-term, while contributing to a sharper economic slowdown later in the year.

Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Tariffs already pose a dual challenge of potentially higher inflation and weaker spending, but ambiguity on the magnitude of the demand pull-forward, coupled with the unpredictable trajectory of trade policy, make it difficult to have conviction on an outlook.

For Fed officials that continue to emphasize their data-dependence, that means preemptive interest rate cuts are unlikely. Instead, the central bank will probably remain cautious and delay any policy easing until a clearer picture of economic conditions emerges.

Decoding Markets: Growth Scare

By | | Comments Off on Decoding Markets: Growth Scare

Will the Real Economy Please Stand Up?

Investing is never free of uncertainty, and that has felt especially true in the current macro environment. With the release of the first-quarter GDP report, however, clarity is dipping its toes back into the market ever so slightly. Let’s dive in.

Economic growth in Q1 2025 showed a much anticipated deceleration, with real GDP contracting an annualized 0.3%. This marks the first contraction since Q1 2022 and a significant slowdown from the 2.4% growth figure last quarter. While typically alarming, this headline figure warrants a closer look, as it was heavily influenced by volatile components rather than a fundamental collapse in economic activity.

Real Gross Domestic Product

The negative Q1 reading was primarily driven by a massive surge in imports and significant changes in business inventories. Imports spiked a dramatic 41.3%, causing the Net Exports component to drag down growth by 4.8 percentage points. Simultaneously, businesses increased their inventories, adding back about 2.3 percentage points to growth, but not enough to offset the import drag.

This unusual activity was a direct consequence of businesses responding to trade policy upheaval. Evidence suggests that companies — particularly those reliant on foreign goods like transportation equipment, pharmaceuticals, and computers — rushed orders to bring them into the country before potential tariffs made them more expensive. This led to both the recorded import surge and the related build-up in inventories as companies stockpiled goods.

To gauge underlying economic momentum, economists often look at “real final sales to private domestic purchasers,” more casually known as private domestic demand. This measure excludes government spending and volatile trade and inventory effects, which can be helpful when the broader data is being possibly distorted. In stark contrast to the headline GDP figure, this measure grew a solid 3.0% in Q1. Consumer spending did slow a bit, but private fixed investment picked up the slack.

Real Private Domestic Demand

Bond Market Puzzle

Historically, Treasury yields tend to rise when the economy is expected to grow strongly and fall when it’s expected to slow or contract. This relationship exists because strong growth can fuel higher inflation expectations and potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

That dynamic held in recent years, but the latest GDP print brings it into question. Despite the weak -0.3% headline GDP in Q1 and recession fears, the 10-year Treasury yield is still around where it began the month at 4.15%-4.20%.

Treasury Yields and Growth Diverging

There are lots of possible reasons for this disconnect. For instance, some investors posit that inflation fears associated with tariffs could be boosting yields. After all, core PCE inflation accelerated from 2.6% to 3.5% in Q1, but this theory doesn’t seem exactly right. Looking at the difference in yields between nominal Treasurys versus Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), we can see that 10-year inflation expectations have actually fallen from 2.37% to 2.23% since the start of April.

Instead, an “all of the above” explanation is probably needed to explain the stickiness of higher yields. Investors could be looking past the distorted GDP figure in part, and focusing on some of the recent worrisome inflation data and the relatively resilient underlying domestic demand data. Additionally, heightened uncertainty around trade policy and the Fed’s future actions, as well as waning foreign investor appetite for investments in the U.S. may be pushing up the “term premium” – extra compensation investors demand for holding longer-term bonds amid increased risk.

Staring Into the Unknown

The combination of slowing headline growth (-0.3% Q1 GDP) and persistent inflation (+3.5% Q1 Core PCE) has revived concerns about stagflation – a period of stagnant economic activity coupled with high inflation. How this will all impact corporate earnings is unknown. S&P 500 companies have beat consensus expectations by more than 9% so far this earnings season, yet the rapidly shifting landscape means that in many ways, the results are already stale.

Companies exposed to imports have been hesitant to give much guidance on future quarters, while analysts on the whole have not revised earnings much in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, consensus currently expects solid earnings growth this year and next.

S&P 500 Consensus EPS Growth

Sectors more sensitive to trade policy uncertainty are expected to have weaker earnings than other parts of the market, but given resilient current expectations, there’s room for these numbers to change in the coming months. A recession would almost certainly weigh on earnings, but an inflation acceleration complicates the picture since price increases could boost nominal earnings even if real growth is challenged. That’s similar to what happened from 1980-1982: From the start of the 1980 recession through the end of the 1981-82 recession, trailing 12-month earnings fell just 3%. The same can’t be said for stock prices, however, as those periods saw drawdowns of 17% and 27% despite the resilient earnings.

Much will depend on how trade policy plays out and how businesses and consumers respond, but for now the market remains on a razor’s edge.
