Wow, I had no idea that Americans were that poor. And here I thought I was poor.

This has been true since $500 was worth $1000, iirc

Slowly but surely, my income is weakening. I used to be able to regularly put about $300 a month into savings a decade ago, if I stuck to ramen and minimized going out. Now I am treading water - not enough to save, just to sustain my lifestyle. I am expecting my ABLE savings to become completely worthless, if I don't spend them or convert them into a currency that isn't American.
