"It feels like the price of everything is rising.
Childcare costs are about $25,000 per year, which really surprised me. My parents might retire next year, which could help.
It feels like Trump doesn't tell the truth about almost anything, so it's hard to know how the economy is actually doing. I'd grade him a 4 out of 10 for the economy, because he talks about it more than he actually does anything to help it."
Jim Sullivan, 55, Indiana
"I know inflation is down, allegedly down, but prices for all kinds of other things are super high, electricity, all kinds of things.
There's so many things that he could be doing - that he is doing - but he's in so many places I think he just needs to focus in on a few things. He promised the economy would be the primary thing, but I don't know that it's completely been that."
Devynn De Velasco, 22, Nebraska
"My husband and I are honestly worried about an economic collapse.
We've been saving a lot of money - thinking of buying a house - but we have that in the back of our mind that if there is some sort of problem, we do have a full safe.
Politics and the economy are very much linked, so what our president does impacts the economy. So the threats to Greenland and Denmark and these remarks about Nato has made me quite anxious."
Denise Demontagnac, 21, Maryland
"One year post graduation, I have not been able to find a stable job which is extremely impacting my life and my family's life as well.
It's not that I haven't applied for jobs. I've applied for jobs every single day. It's the fact that people are not hiring, partially because they cannot afford to hire.
You look at interviews where Trump says 'Oh, the job market has never been better, we've created more jobs than have ever been created before'.
As somebody who is actually going through that [market], I don't see the data, I don't see the proof."
