Those with little or no assets always have a more pessimistic view of their financial status. It's only logical. But those with a little money saved think things are getting better. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Americans say their personal finances are getting better while 43% say worse. Investors are far more bullish than non-Investors. Among those who own at least $5,000 worth of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, 45% say their finances are getting better and 35% say worse. As for those who do not invest, the numbers are 26% better and 51% worse.
