Goldman Sachs Asset Management's 2026 retirement survey finds 36.6% of households earning over $500,000 say they primarily live paycheck to paycheck. The share bottoms at 22.2% at $100,000 to $200,000, so pay explains the low end and spending the top.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management's retirement survey found that 37% of people earning more than $500,000 live paycheck to paycheck. Goldman cautions that this strain may mean something different for retirement at that income, so the figure is a reason to look at rich clients' budgets.
