I was in the medium income bracket for labor type jobs and feeding my family and supplying medical needs for a family of 4. While having everything we NEEDED, we still didn't have everything we wanted (but not complaining). That was during the "hay day" of the graph's high growth period. As comfortable of a living we had, I still chose to use my income above what was needed to acquire the things we wanted. This type of living kept me from investing and reaping the rewards. Had I wisely invested then I may have had more wealth growth by the 90s. Who do I have to blame for not being in one of those higher brackets on the chart?</p></blockquote><p></p>
