Home ownership is up. Money can't be two places at once.

I agree. Home ownership is the best form of savings available. Average return on investment averages 17% per annnum. What bank will give you that?

Moveover, are they taking into account pensions, 401k's, IRA's and stock portfolios? I think not.

I think a more valuable assessment would be changes in average American net worth, taking into account adjustments for inflation.

Bushwah! Both I and my wife now have the best paying jobs we have ever had, and half our pay is paying off credit cards we had to use when we were both unemployed. We are making $1000 payments on our debt, and loving it! Seems like some Old Media can take great news and spin it to tragedy with no work at all!
