I don't understand why the middle class can't be rich today? I come from a lower middle class family. An emigrant family with no formal education beyond the 7th grade that started with EUR 500 (in todays money) in the 70s in Western Europe. Today I'm rich. It's not easier or harder to...

What are the results if you exchange average cost of a home ("average" homes have become much bigger in the last 30 years) with average metropolitan apartment rents per sqft.
