Yes, the average American is doing worse than 50 years ago, but the average person worldwide is doing better than 50 years ago, and the average American is doing better than 100 years ago. This is why it's important to remember 2 things. First, be vigilant, or the improvements we've made can be lost. Second, keep perspective with the big picture, and remember there will be setbacks.
