Thanks for your as always thoughtfu...Dear Cam Hui,<br /><br />Thanks for your as always thoughtful and detailled blog, one of the very best in the financial sphere !<br /><br />In this article, there seems to be a mistake (or a freudian slip?) in the second to last paragraph:<br /><br />"But these numbers indicate that the typical American adult would likely have a much better quality of life as a French citizen."<br /><br />Most of the article seems to argue the exact opposite (i.e. the typical French has a better life than the typical American).<br />belshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528019077532149859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816559531110064247.post-51403144982849998282014-10-31T16:53:02.670-07:002014-10-31T16:53:02.670-07:00Really enjoy the blog and this article. One quest...Really enjoy the blog and this article. One question I had about this perceived gap in consumer confidence was whether the income range of $35K to $50K was adjusted for inflation. For example, even with a low inflation rate, $35K in 1987 is equivalent to $73K in 2014. $50K in 1987 would be equivalent to $105K in 2014. I'm sure a survey done in 2014 of people between $73k - $105k and 105K+ would reveal no gap. Is it possible that the relatively low income segment of the population were not part of survey in 1987 ?BDnoreply@blogger.com
