60% of Americans don't have savings to cover even a $500 car repair bill (drugs, politician)

[brownbagg]

The country is filled with people who live on $15 an hour.

I make 15.75. my house paid for, all three of my cars paid for, my retirement is paid for. Its all how you dance your budget

[brownbagg]

you claim 60% can't pay a $500 bill

here another story that says its 40%

I claim BS and think its more like 23%

It's a variation of that internet sensation in Florida with 18 kids by multiple sperm donors, living in squalor who shouts at the camera " someone has to pay for this". She was incapable of connecting her choices, to the consequences- mentally ill and physically able to reproduce.

My point here is the blame game not the tired urban Welfare Mama myth.

Highest rent in the US right now is in ND.

Many, many seasonal workers sleep in their cars.

How much did you pay for your house?

How do they count stocks?

I don't have a lot of cash but I can sell my stocks and get cash immediately.

No need to worry, they are building more housing. Just a small issue that has been addressed. Just think about all those non minimum wage jobs that were created to build all those houses.



Census Bureau statistics released Thursday show that in the year to July 2013, North Dakota added 10,207 housing units — a growth of 3.1 percent. That far outstripped the national average growth rate of 0.3 percent and was the fastest in the nation.
North Dakota again leads nation in housing growth

The only way to live is in cars.

Different survey. Different day.

Again, who are these people who answer the phone from unknown numbers?

Do pollsters leave a message or disconnect.

Our land line is listed in my husband's name. On a bad day, 20-25 calls come in from unknown numbers/ companies, despite the DNC thingy. One of my favorite calls comes from my own number. Happens about once a month. In all the years I have never been polled.

I was however a part of the Neilson Family of viewers twice.
