The economy is booming, and yet many Americans are still gasping for air financially. They simply don’t have the breathing room to plan beyond their present needs

I have a feeling that the economic news is maybe put of touch with what people are actually dealing with.

At least if you're told it's not doing well you can see space for improvement. But if it's sold as doing well and you're not then you get...well this.

If the economy is booming and the median american is struggling, your metrics for analyzing the economy are faulty.

Couldn't agree more. "Economy" is just code for rich people's stocks at this point.
