Also, isn't there a lot of utility by looking at assets as well. It wouldn't seemingly change a discussion around the article presented, but it is kind of pointless to have a discussion of annual income and neglect people that have assets greater than their income, liquid or not.

- DoodleBuggy 10y agoWow that must be really tough. Many people are really struggling out there, that is something I think many either aren't aware of, ignore, or forget.
