Most Americans own less than they did in 2005
[By US Census]
How hard has this ‘wealth drain’ hit the middle class?
There are two ways to measure how people are doing financially: How much they earn, and how much they own.
The second category gets less attention, but it can be just as important. And, it’s very likely that you own a lot less than you did before the Great Recession.
In fact, odds are roughly 50/50 that you own less than you did in the year 2000, according to the latest Census data. That’s stunning.

And, it’s another reason you might feel restless.
