ONE IN THREE… COUNTRY IN CRISIS!

A new survey paints a bleak picture of American life in 2026: one in three adults says they’re in an existential crisis, nearly four in ten feel their lives are out of control, and younger people are hit hardest. The raw financial strain is feeding the panic, with 87% saying the country is in crisis because life has become unaffordable, more than half struggling to pay bills on time and half unable to keep up with grocery costs. The fallout is clear — anxiety, helplessness, and a growing sense that life is happening to people, not being lived by them — even as 79% say they’re trying for some kind of mid-year reset.
