Default Re: How Are People Getting By?

Homeownership is at an all time high and your payments on your house that you have left are considered debt if I'm not mistaken. This is probably not taking into account equity in your homes either.

Your points 1 and 2 just show why the economy is always growing, people aren't necessarly forced to work more, people want to work more to improve their life. I think it also shows that umemployment over the last decade is much lower. Companies dont want to pay people for over 40 hours a week, they hate paying overtime. But its getting harder to find people for work, so they are forced to pay overtime.
