But the average Americans aren't all going to lose their job at the same time and end up homeless.

The average American will never experience homelessness so citing that as an example of adversity for the average American is wrong.

That's a clickbait headline.

According to the story itself, most Americans are on the verge of: "reducing spending elsewhere (26%), borrowing from family and/or friends (16%) or using credit cards (12%)."
