About the Making Ends Meet Survey

The Making Ends Meet Survey program is a series of general financial surveys that examine consumers’ evolving financial status. The CFPB uses these surveys to produce a regular report on consumers’ financial conditions, as well as additional ad-hoc research reports. The surveys cover financial decision-making, perceptions, expectations, well-being, marketing and usage of different consumer finance products.

Reports from the Making Ends Meet Survey

The Making Ends Meet reports examine consumers’ evolving financial stability, financial health, and financial well-being. In these reports, we examine changes in financial status across age, income, military experience, renting and homeowning, student loan status, and other dimensions to understand emerging risks to consumers and household financial stability.
