Episode 4 of “The Machine That Took Our Work” confronts the brutal reality of surviving in 2025. People aren’t lazy—many are experiencing burnout and financial anxiety on a national scale. A 2025 Talker Research survey shows that 70 % of Americans are grappling with financial anxiety, and 76 % feel isolated in that struggle. Northwestern Mutual’s 2025 study echoes this: nearly 7 in 10 Americans say financial uncertainty makes them feel depressed and anxious, 63 % lose sleep over money worries, and 40 % feel physically ill because of them. The same study reports that 55 % skip social events and 49 % see their job performance suffer because of financial stress. The American Psychiatric Association’s 2025 poll further underscores this crisis—67 % of Americans are anxious about current events, 61 % worry about paying bills, and 40 % of employed adults fear losing their jobs. This episode offers a raw look at how constant survival pressures drain our minds, bodies and relationships—and why your exhaustion isn’t personal weakness but a symptom of a broken system.
