So crazy but so true. I don't understand how they sleep at night. I'm 27 and worry when my emergency fund goes below 3 months worth of expenses for a week or two, which is equal to $15K
We live with constant financial stress, we get sick, causing even more financial stress, and we die early.
Eight years ago and you still haven't learned how to make a website?
If you aren't content living at poverty level you have to take actions to change your situation, not just lament having low income and not being able to afford training. There are so many free tools and resources for learning how to make websites, hell you could probably manage a small network of websites for free from your local public library. You don't need to be some high level expert ajax/python/jquery/python guru, you want to get started with the basics google html tutorial then open up notepad and start typing, open that file in a browser and tinker away.
Don't just wish for it, go get it. Good luck.
I didn't have a PC until several months ago. Now I've got one. I've got a domain name (three actually) and cheap hosting with tools included and I can't figure out how to use them.
I only had to do that once, for about 9 months. The rest of the time I've been renting an apartment. I even rented a house for 2 years for $1200 a month in San Jose. I take great care in choosing where I live.. an apartment search for me can take up to 3 months, but I usually end up with a good situation. Currently I have a 1-bedroom with one of the nicest kitchens I've ever seen anywhere, for $1450 in a lovely peaceful neighborhood.
I've seen some of those houses in San Jose (City College and Alviso). The back yards have houses behind the main house. Yeah I can see some of those houses being less than outrageously priced.
They interviewed 1900 people and extrapolated about the rest of us 34 million?
That's a pretty big far leap. And we also don't know how they picked who they picked to interview. We don't know if this is a legitimate cross section of people in this country.
It's not income, though that would help, but the lack of debt.
I know people making $100K or $150K+ as a couple, and have no buffer due to debt, and would have to borrow or put an unexpected $2K expense on a credit card.
Debt free for well over a decade, the most liberating thing you can do for yourself.
Lack of money management and lots of spending is the problem.
US Gov't is almost $15 trillon in debt.

depends who they poll. i know i have never been polled for anything.
the polls depend on the group and where and who they are?
know why aids tests arent standard in routine blood tests?
because they are 98% accurate with 2% false positives.. that means if we all did it nation wide many many many people would test positive and they arent. but apply that to a high risk group and the odds of its accuracy get much much more accurate..
these polls can show anything anyone wants them to. i dont belive most i have have seen in financial stuff worth a darn. there is always a spin.

You don't need a PC, the library has them for free.
The only thing standing between you and learning to make websites in 8 years time is you.
