The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents Are (Still) Going Broke

<b>From #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Senator Elizabeth Warren and consultant Amelia Warren Tyagi, the classic book about America's middle class -- and why economic security remains out of reach for many</b><br />In this exposé, Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi show that modern middle-class families are increasingly trapped by the grinding reality of flat wages and rising costs. Warren and Tyagi reveal how a ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America's suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class, and placing unprecedented pressure on hard-working families. <br />Revolutionary when it was first published in 2003, <i>The Two-Income Trap</i> remains disturbingly relevant today. Now with a new introduction by the authors, <i>The Two Income Trap</i> shows why the usual remedies won't solve the problem and points toward the policy changes that would create better opportunities for both parents and children.
