In this video Jack Spirko talks about the slippage that has occurred over the past several decades in what it means to be middle class in America. How it's not just that Joe Blow has fallen out of the upper middle class and into the lower middle class but that what it takes to stay in a class position has changed. What roles debt financing play in this and how you can insulate yourself to some degree from it. Well worth checking out!

I'm an Arlington, Texas Sustainable Living Dad posting here to blow off steam when something is getting my goat or just odds and ends; things I find funny or interesting. I like to write about self reliant living, current events, humor and just life in general. These may indeed be the ravings of a lunatic mind so brace yourself...

I know it seems like the faster we run the more someone cranks up the speed on the treadmill.
