Hi All,
As part of our mission to bring you the most interesting personal finance tidbits on the web, today’s cruising has yielded a gem worth blogging about. As you may have noticed, many members of our nation’s representative body, the U.S. congress, are execeptionally wealthy.
If you’re like us DINKS, you’ll likely wonder how they got that way. Well, it turns out the most popular stock held by congress is GE. Not only that, the most common asset class was real estate with finance & insurance being the most popular sector.
If you want more details, Opensecrets.org has the skinny on congressional wealth.
Enjoy your surfing!
Best,
James
DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) Finance is a blog discussing personal finance for couples. While by no means financial experts, we own a variety of assets including real estate and stocks. We've both been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've both successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!
