As the stock market soars to new highs, here's some sobering statistics to consider.
A greater share of Americans have more debt than money in the bank than at any point since 1962, according to Deutsche Bank economist Torsten Slok.
30.4% of US families have negative net worth despite the recovery in housing and the stock market.
Median net worth is below where it was in 1989.
Inflation adjusted, net worth may be the worst in history. $78,000 is not worth what it was in 1989, to say the least.
