When you pay off the officials, anything is possible.

 

 

That can be done when you're rich.

That's what I meant.

 

I'm sure Warren will destroy Stevenson AGAIN this year and Rowand will go hide in Carbondale dorm with a pizza from Quatros and 5 pack of Natural Light.

70K average median income makes you rich?

 

 

In my hometown, that's pulling in good money.

 

The median income for a household in the city is $27,347, and the median income for a family is $32,279. Males have a median income of $28,075 versus $19,479 for females. The per capita income for the city is $17,502. 13.7% of the population and 11.7% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 19.4% of those under the age of 18 and 13.7% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.

 

A family pulling in over 70K is top-tier there. I know my parents do so, and we're middle-middle-class to upper-middle class.

 

Of course, a lot of that, and I appreciate it more and more, is my dad's grasp on our financial situation. He works this stuff out, and even though we aren't rich, we live comfortably and can splurge at times.
