Where’d this stat come from. Looking around and another site says 25% made payments for groceries. Another site says 60% split payments when buying - not just for groceries. So I sincerely doubt the stat of 60% making payments just for groceries.

This comment on the post indicates that it's a CitizenWatch article, but that article's own listed sources don't support the 60% number either (as I call out in my response to that comment).

I swear there's barely anywhere online anymore where people practice basic skepticism. If it aligns with their existing biases they just slurp it up, no matter how absurd.

👍This comment section is a particularly bad example.

Yeah, that statistic is obviously bullshit and people here should notice. They really should notice

It’s not like the statistic wanted to be noticed

noticing harder

A split payment doesn't necessarily mean being destitute either. My wife and I keep our finances separate and do split payments when we go grocery shopping together.

Should’ve been 96% or something—the same as the percentage of people I hope realized the number couldn’t possibly be accurate. Make it truly absurd if it won’t be accurate!
