I recently moderated a panel at Elevate by LegalShield where one of the speakers mentioned the statistic that the average American only has $500 in savings. This was not the first time that I have heard this figure and of course, it’s not enough to hire an attorney to do much. And, do not get me wrong, we do have an access to justice crisis with those below the poverty line and eligible for legal aid. However, this savings statistic includes the middle class. I was reminded of something that my husband once said about why some cannot make ends meet, “It’s not the people that make less; it’s the people that spend more.”
