Middle Class
WSJ had interesting comparison surveys.
To be part of the middle class you need:
1991 Survey---------------------------------------2012 Survey
To own a home-70%____________________ A secure job-86%
Two or more cars-48% __________________Health insurance-66%
Stocks,bonds investments-41%___________ To own a home-45%
A white collar job-33%___________________ A college education-37%
______________________________________Stocks,bonds investments-28%
"In the wake of the housing crisis, far fewer Americans surveyed think home ownership is a Hallmark of being a member of the Middle Class. "
