Feelgood Story: Household Wealth Down 23%

Hey! Household wealth down 23% from 2007 to 2009! What's so good about that?

I thought it would be worse!

And the stock market has been in a 2-year bull market and is up about 100%. So many folks who stayed the course with their investments and continued to dollar-cost average into the market are probably doing fine.

But those were some rough years, eh?
