Kubler-Ross just died a couple weeks ago, here in Scottsdale. After 
publication of On Death and Dying in 1969 for which she is most famous she 
continued her work helping those at the end of their lives and their 
survivors. Seems to me she did a lot of good with her life.

"Much of the increase in household net worth came from rising real estate 
values. The Fed said the market value of household real estate, which 
includes owner-occupied homes, second homes and vacant land, rose 2.9 
percent to $15.713 trillion in the second quarter."

Real estate has always been the basis of wealth. Home ownership in the USA 
is at a record level and rising. Coincidentally, and apropos to an earlier 
discussion, I recently read that credit card debt is down. One might 
speculate that economic conditions of the last few years have created a 
mindset of hunkering down and being financially conservative.
