19 indications American family
income is diminishing
The full list of 19 from Zero Hedge
is noted below:
#1 The poorest 40 percent of all
Americans now spend more than 50 percent of their incomes just on food and
housing.
#2 For those Americans that don’t
own a home, 50 percent of them spend more than a third of their incomes just on
rent.
#3 The price of school lunches has
risen to the 3 dollar mark at many public schools across the nation.
#4 McDonald’s “Dollar Menu &
More” now includes items that cost as much as 5 dollars.
#5 The price of ground beef has
doubled since 2009.
#6 In 1986, child care expenses for
families with employed mothers used up 6.3 percent of all income. Today, that
figure is up to 7.2 percent.
#7 Incomes fell for the bottom 80
percent of all income earners in the United States during the 12 months leading
up to June 2014.
#8 At this point, more than 50
percent of all American workers bring home less than $30,000 a year in wages.
#9 After adjusting for inflation,
median household income has fallen by nearly $5,000 since 2007.
#10 According to the New York
Times, the “typical American household” is now worth 36 percent less than it was
worth a decade ago.
#11 47 percent of all Americans do
not put a single penny out of their paychecks into savings.
#12 One survey found that 62
percent of all Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck.
#13 According to the U.S.
Department of Education, 33 percent of all Americans with student loans are
currently behind on their student loan debt repayments.
#14 According to one recent report,
43 million Americans currently have unpaid medical debt on their credit
reports.
#15 The rate of homeownership in
the U.S. has been declining for seven years in a row, and it is now the lowest
that it has been in 20 years.
#16 For each of the past six years,
more businesses have closed in the United States than have opened. Prior to
2008, this had never happened before in all of U.S. history.
#17 According to the Census Bureau,
65 percent of all children in the United States are living in a home that
receives some form of aid from the federal government.
#18 If you have no debt at all, and
you also have 10 dollars in your wallet, that you are wealthier than 25 percent
of all Americans.
#19 On top of everything else, the
average American must work from January 1st to April 24th just to pay all
federal, state and local taxes.
