In the latest New Reality Check: The Paycheck-To-Paycheck Report, a PYMNTS and LendingClub collaboration, PYMNTS surveyed 3,250 U.S. consumers to reveal that the paycheck-to-paycheck profile isn't a lower-credit-score, lower-income consumer, but simply how most Americans now manage their cash flow.
