Despite a stronger economy, today’s “modern” families, many with a nontraditional structure, are struggling in ways never seen before. Even though 85% of the more than 4,500 Americans polled in LoveFamilyMoney, a new Allianz study, identify themselves as “middle class,”—a status that has traditionally afforded a level of financial security— a staggering 57% of modern families say that they are either "making ends meet," “struggling financially,” or "poor," a full 10 percentage points higher than their traditional family counterparts.
