"Brimming with proposed solutions to the nail-biting anxiety that the middle class finds itself in."-- Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Senator Elizabeth Warren and consultant Amelia Warren Tyagi, the classic book about America's middle class -- and why economic security remains out of reach for many. In this exposé, Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi show that modern middle-class families are increasingly trapped by the grinding reality of flat wages and rising costs. Warren and Tyagi reveal how a ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America's suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class, and placing unprecedented pressure on hard-working families. Revolutionary when it was first published in 2003, The Two-Income Trap remains disturbingly relevant today. Now with a new introduction by the authors, The Two Income Trap shows why the usual remedies won't solve the problem and points toward the policy changes that would create better opportunities for both parents and children., From #1 New York Times bestselling author Senator Elizabeth Warren and consultant Amelia Warren Tyagi, the classic book about America's middle class -- and why economic security remains out of reach for many In this expos , Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi show that modern middle-class families are increasingly trapped by the grinding reality of flat wages and rising costs.

  • common sense finances in a crazy world.

    warren's analysis of the problems middle-class families face is quite accurate. she does, however, provide some serious ways for individual families to avoid the major pitfalls. most people are unwilling to monitor and restrict their spending so carefully, but at least the truth is laid out clearly....1. have your basic Must-Haves covered by 1/2 of your after tax income. 2. have your Wants covered by 30% of your income. 3. save 20% of your income. if you actually follow this your family is very likely to stay afloat. big problem is that corporations and banks have a vested interest in your living beyond your means, so the above info is not common knowledge. and, obviously, our national government has been running crazily in debt for decades, providing a terrible example for everyday ...
