It's also filled with those with preconceived notions who cherry pick sentences in arguments with statistics that can be accurate without answering or counteracting an argument. Or like yourself who respond with something just completely pretentious (I don't mean /u/Ch4s3 just including you for visibility).

Americans HAVE to hold a 4 year degree to obtain certain jobs. They didn't need this prior to the 80's to hold positions that allowed them to purchase homes and support families. Those degrees don't mean shit about happiness. The student loan debt bubble in America is over 1 TRILLION dollars and they don't stop even if you declare bankruptcy. 

2/3 Americans own their own homes does not mean they're not saddled by aggressive mortgages. It doesn't display demographics that older generations have owned homes for years while younger generations cannot break into the market, hence lower birth rates. 

Your points are salient and I understand why you are presenting them. But that still does not address the litany of other issues posted such as:

-Sabotaged public education systems and a push for privatized education under Republican leadership

-Increased ages of retirement and pushes for increased retirement age

-Lack of affordable health insurance

-Lack of vacation days, parental leave, and proper stress management at work

-Privatized media that as Rupert Murdoch said years ago that Fox News was designed to make them rich and that they were entertainers and not journalists, including the repealing of the FCC Fairness Doctrine

-Dismantling of Unions that were the backbone of things like the 40 hour work week, fair wages, retirement protection, etc.

Mentioning a few statistics on degrees, debt payments, and home ownership do very little to address the complete picture as mentioned.
