#MONEY: Most people don't know how much MONEY they actually have! Do you??!
Roughly half of Americans aren’t sure how much money is in their bank account — and that’s because they say they’re too afraid to find out.
According to a recent poll of 2,000 people, 55 percent admit fear keeps them from monitoring their bank account as regularly as they should.
Three in five (59%) often feel an intense anxiety spike just before they do check.
Another 60 percent say living through the pandemic has made that moment feel even worse than it did previously.
Despite this, the average respondent will fight apprehension and check their account balance four times a week. That’s still over 200 times in a year.
The survey also finds 31 percent frequently experience “close calls” where they didn’t know if they’d have the right amount to pay a scheduled expense in time.
So... do you know how much money YOU actually have in the bank??
