Odds worse than that and I think you can substitute "prudent" for "risk aversion". It seems that Americans are risking a lot more than people give them credit for. I don't know how we can have record debt, extremely low savings AND the insatiable desire for non-essential goods without betting that our futures will be at least as good if not better. Unless we're just stupid. If somebody will show me where I can find a 50/50 shot at risking half my income for the chance to double it, I may consider the risk.
