Shownotes

In this episode of Ditch the Suits, we are going to dive deep into the evolving story of the American middle class, exploring why it’s shrinking, why that matters, and what you can actually do about it. You’ll hear both sides of the debate: the familiar narrative that the middle class is disappearing as the rich get richer, and a counter-narrative that challenges those assumptions with fresh data and perspective. We’ll break down arguments and examine whether the “shrinking middle class” is really a crisis or simply a sign of changing times. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what’s really happening, why it impacts you, and how you can take control of your financial future.
