Just when you thought TikTok was only good for dance challenges and recipe hacks, it’s turned into a sort of group therapy for personal finance – imagine that!
It’s not just trending, it’s practically on fire. The hashtag #paydayroutine has racked up a whopping 57 million views! No, it’s not a new dance routine. It’s users spilling their financial secrets like they’re in a reality TV show confession booth. They’re breaking down their income, spending, and all the nitty-gritty in between.
Here’s the thing, more than 60% of folks in the US are living paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, you read that right. But don’t start playing a sad trombone just yet. The good news is, the number of these people having issues paying their bills is at its lowest in over three years! It’s like finding out your least favorite college professor has gone on sabbatical. 🎉

All this online chatter about moolah has got financial institutions seeing 💕. A staggering 44% of people with at least one credit card through their main bank are super interested in financial advice from their banks. It’s kinda like when you take relationship advice from your best friend because, you know, they’ve got your back.
The CEO of Metro Credit Union, Robert Cashman, spilled some serious wisdom recently. He said that when people feel their financial institutions are offering advice and guidance, they feel valued and stick around. It’s like having a great date that listens and supports you – wouldn’t you want to see them again?
