Folks,
If you’re not following the personal finance news closely the U.S. Census Bureau has a new report out. The news is bad. Evidently median incomes have fallen consistently for the past five years. This wouldn’t be so bad, except for the fact that the top 5% seem to have done pretty well. Unlike the rest of the country, the earnings of the top 5% have been steady at around 318k per year.
The Huffington Post has a pretty good write up.
If you’re feeling ambitious, the census report is here.
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 been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've 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!
