The new reality of a post-stimulus world:
Rich people have gotten richer and continue to spend more than everyone else.
Currently, the top 20% of incomes account for almost 40% of consumer spending.
Meanwhile, the second lowest and lowest income quintiles account for just 21% of consumer spending.
This is exactly why many consumers feel like the economy is bad.
All while we have the most unaffordable housing market in history with inflation still above 3%.
Affordability is horrible for most people.
