Yep.
The thing I left out is aset prices...shares, houses, heaps of things perhaps, which are currently falling with painful effect.
Watching the news last night I was stunned. There were just a few things in a row that blew me away (what? oil? environment? I completely forget), and I remarked to my son that when I was his age (early 70s) it was, for all its difficulties, an optimistic time.
