This marks the first time in history that even six-figure earners are financially unstable, creating unprecedented dependence on digital financial systems. The combination of 60% paycheck-to-paycheck rates at $100k+ income levels, coupled with record credit card debt and corporate concentration, demonstrates a structural shift enabling centralized economic control that wasn't technically possible before digital banking.

📰 What Happened
New economic data from 2025 shows dramatic middle-class erosion in US/UK, with 60% of Americans earning $100k+ living paycheck-to-paycheck. Real wages have grown just 6% since 1979 while top earners gained 40%. UK households face 8% disposable income drop and record-low 40% home ownership among under-40s. Meanwhile, corporate profits reach historic highs amid surging costs for housing (+9.2%), food (+20%), and record $1 trillion US credit card debt.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The integration of digital payment systems with unprecedented wealth concentration creates the technical infrastructure for economic control prophesied in Revelation. Three key developments stand out: 1) The 60% paycheck-to-paycheck rate among high earners forces reliance on digital credit systems, 2) The $1 trillion credit card debt milestone establishes digital debt tracking at scale, 3) The 20% food cost increase alongside corporate profit growth demonstrates how digital systems enable coordinated price controls. These technological capabilities make possible the prophesied restriction of buying and selling in ways unimaginable in previous eras.
