Measures of Financial Stress
by Tim Duy

I'm still not sanguine about the level of financial stress in the US. Private debt is still way too high and incomes are not keeping up.

The continuing pile up of student debt is especially worrisome for the future, both financially and economically. Again, "the rent is too damn high."
