Wow. Much of this I knew but one thing that shocked me is that the 10th percentile of wealth in this country is a family with NEGATIVE $2000. If you were dropped into Nebraska from a meteor with nothing in your pocket you wouldn't even be in the bottom tenth.
A sad state of affairs for the "greatest country in the world".
- DarkKomunalec 9y ago"dropped into Nebraska from a meteor" Don't you mean Kansas?
- brianwawok 9y agoWant to do a survey of how many people in that bottom tenth have an iPhone?
- collyw 9y agoiPhones are cheap when they are not purchased new.
- habosa 9y agoA $600 iPhone is probably one of the best investments you can make if you want to participate in modern society.
- mywittyname 9y agoAgreed. And iPhones have been around for like a decade and over a billion of them have been produced, so there are plenty of cheap used versions available.
- sokoloff 9y agoA $150 iPhone 5S is likely a better choice for someone in the bottom 1/10th of wealth.
- cylinder 9y agoWant to do a survey of how many people in that bottom tenth have faced massive out of pocket expenses for healthcare and insurance premiums?
- thehardsphere 9y agoDon't be so sure that it's sad. I'm pretty sure there are lots of doctors with negative $2000 net worth or less.
