CJ, re: $50k for a family of 4 means they can buy a house and a new car every few years. Must have pretty cheap houses and cars where you live. John

"I never said it was poverty but its not a healthy income even for one person." It depends on the area. It's substantially above the median for this area for a single income, and is above many family incomes. $50k for a family of 4 means they can buy a house and a new car every few years. Not a fancy house or Lexus for the cars, but... The average median in the country is $65k. If $50k is substantially above the median in your area, then you must be in a city smaller than 200k. ted
