Workers in their 30s living through recession not seen since they were in their 20s.


Reduced spending on luxury goods like rent and insulin.


Unfortunate closure of that restaurant we all came together to save back in March.


More difficult than ever to ignore racial economic disparities, but still totally doable.


Record number of Americans collecting inheritance.


Consumer confidence at lowest level since disappointing box office of The Chronicles Of Riddick.


Pensions wiped out before Congress had chance to pass law to do it.
