What worked
- The post text leads with a striking human fact, nearly 1 in 5 American families fell behind on debt payments in 2025, the highest share since 2010.
- It frames the data as a contrast between two economies, the stock market boom enriching wealthy Americans while millions struggle to pay bills.
- It is a simple line chart with a source line and medium self labelling, so the trend is easy to grasp at a glance.
What to borrow
We could pair one clean line chart with a short human scale headline and a two-sided framing that contrasts who is winning and who is struggling, using our own data.
Careful
Do not over-read the spread as proof of chart quality, since the design polish is low and the main drivers were a hot topic and many quotes, and do not copy the exact numbers or claims.
