Then its targeting a comparatively small amount of people then. Households that make over 180k (which is below your figure of 2 6figure incomes) would be the top 20% of households. And that factors in the high cost of living areas as well, so what you describe is an even smaller amount of people.

There are a surprising number of households where both people pull in six figures in low or moderate cost of living areas, and they live paycheck to paycheck because they way overspend. It’s not groceries or the heating bill, it’s the extravagant vacations, the horseback riding lessons, the huge wardrobes for growing kids that need everything replaced in six months. These are all nice things, but if you can’t afford them, it’s OK to do without.

Yup, small percent of people. But those 4% (or whatever it is) are the only possible audience capable of breaking free of living from paycheck to paycheck by following “tips”. And 4% of 300 million people is a reasonably large number of people.

Ans sometime it is also the grocerie. Not the avocado toast but the rebought avocado because the other ones grew old at the back of the fridge. The leftover going straight to the garbave even thought there is always a serving or two cooked extra. The little treats bought to ourselves every time we go out.
Still not people in poverty but people that can’t both never been bothered spending and build a emergency funds.
