    Wealth Distribution in America

    Don't forget the top 1% is a fluid group. Despite the popular images of fat cats sitting in 1920's tuxedos, lighting cigars with $100 bills, people move in and out of this group regularly.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    This is actually a great point. A lot of discussion on income inequality, but if you look at the standard of living young adults have today vs 40 years ago, it's vastly improved. Cars, cell phones, food deliveries, on demand entertainment, etc.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    I think part of the growth of the top .1% is tech billionaires. Generations prior you had to be a manufacturer or oil company tycoon. Grind out your growth through manual labor and product manufacturing. Now you can invent something digitally and boom, welcome to the zillionaire club.

    Do you regret giving up flying?

    Start that new chapter. My Dad's health took a bad turn earlier than they expected, so many things my Mom and Dad wanted to do in retirement they couldn't. Buy that RV and get going! And if you hate it? Sell the RV and start plane shopping again, or join a flying club!
