Growing number of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, most jobs pay so little that people can't afford to buy homes in the US.

Ehhh my own fault.I'm deep on regional banks.I believe they are the back bone of American small business and all seem very well positioned.After reviewing many P&L's and balance sheets, I see lot's of value but time will tell.I'll either be a hero or a zero with this high risk investment.Wishing you much success and keep the dream alive
