[quote=flyer]We’ve all had our financial ups and downs, but what’s interesting about all of the different possible paths to wealth people are pursuing (as mentioned in all of the recent posts) is that (per the stats) we aren’t seeing MORE people with a HIGHER net worth–that number is stagnant, and even declining.
As time goes on, it will be interesting to watch those stats, to see if they move upward or not for younger generations–because, in IMO–that’s the bottom line.[/quote]
I wouldn’t call it stagnant. It declined when compare to the peak of 2006 bubble, but it’s well above 10 years ago: http://taxfoundation.org/article/who-are-americas-millionaires.
