No offense, but I think you've just been naive... Look around on their homepage and you'll realize that probably nearly half of their headlines could be termed as "sensational". They're just trying to lure people into reading their articles.

As for stories like this, I just laugh and ignore them completely. Meanwhile, I just got paid today, and by this weekend, a full 30% of it will be saved away in some form or other. Economists who want to freak out about people saving can bite me.
