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.

@@@@@@@@@@@

make ends meet:

to have enough money to buy what you need to live:  It’s not easy to make ends meet with a big family, but somehow we manage.

 

dial back:

To lessen something, especially in intensity or frequency. I could barely move my arms all week—I guess it's time to dial back the workouts!
