<he personal savings rate was negative 1%, the lowest since the great depression. It can't (and won't) continue.>

and yet personal net worth has skyrocketed over the past 2 years.

It can continue for a lot longer than most think. When you compare personal consumption to (wages + change in net worth), personal consumption was very low.

There is still a tremendous amount of buying power left.
