I find such a question, especially coming from a "fellow Christian", doubtfully sincere. But, the answers are yes and yes.
As Christ pointed out to us, God wills that we love our neighbor as ourselves. For me, the beauty (i.e., truth) of our Judeo Christian beliefs is that they not only come from God, but are rooted in common sense.
Love and respect in a healthy human being begin with self and ripple outward to immediate family, extended family, neighbor, community, nation, world, universe. And, as ripples fade, the emotions diminish they get farther from the self. That in no sense relieves us of the effort to carry those attitudes outward as far as we are able.
I think you meant to direct your comment to someone else.
Googleing "U.S. wage stagnation" yields 197,000 hits.
Review your brains(?) out!
You are absolutely correct. I apologize for my mis-click and will rectify it. :o(
"It" being Google, of course.
We'll see how long that lasts. You know it's mainly from asset appreciation and we know what happened to the last class of wildly appreciating assets in 2000...
Well, since net worth is assets minus liabilities, you are correct that increased net worth could be caused by asset appreciation. So which class of assets are you expecting to crash?
