There are a lot of things that “everyone is doing” that just seem wrong.
Number 1
The Christian Science Monitor reports stats by the EBRI that show that only half of American households could come up with $2,000 cash in a pinch.
Number 2
They also say that 57 percent of Americans report having less than $25,000 in household savings and investments (excluding their home and pension benefits).
Number 3
College graduates in 2012 owed an average of $28,720 in student loans. And 53% of them are either unemployed or unable to find full-time employment. They also believe that they really need a graduate level degree (aka. more loans) to be more competitive.
Number 4
The Huffington Post shares a PNC Bank report that says that the average debt burden of twenty-somethings is $45,000.
