Re: Median Family Income
Many people are better off renting - and income is not the greatest factor to consider.

That thought crossed my mind too, but I think it's less true than just a few years ago.
I have always been amazed that the very poor make things like cable or satellite TV and priority.
I know several who have lost their homes, but not internet and TV service!

I am considered low income. I do not have internet or TV service in my home, at this time mainly because I can't afford it. I am online though through my work and I have a laptop that automatically picks up open access internet in many places... including in my home.
In my work though, I have to go over the finances of people applying for charity health care. I am always amazed at the people who pay high cable and internet monthly. They always have cell phones too...yet can't pay their medical bills and are on foodstamps.
I have cell phones too, but no home phone. I always say, you put your money where you want it.

Those are the ones that Obama wants to get to know better too so they can help people like me pay my bills.

You have a "growing" family? You mean you ain't done yet?

Just look at that fancy brick house you've got in your avatar, Jason. That place is huge. You could probably run laps around the inside.

Re: Median Family Income
While I'm not rich-- I don't live from paycheck to paycheck.
Recently read an article on an increase in those getting free school lunches. If I was a family of four, I wouldn't qualify.
