Quite. I'm actually sympathetic to the argument being made -- that a given income may seem "rich" in one place, but actually not buy so much elsewhere. Living in NJ, I can see this every day. But when you look into the details of the article, it's hard to buy it. The article says, for example, that it's "impossible" for the parents to clean and dress themselves. Bunk. If the rest of society can do it, why can't this family? Why do they spend so much money eating out, and spending $10/lunch every day at work? So: ignore the article, but please still consider the fact that what might seem rich in one circumstance may not go as far elsewhere.
