116. well, I would like to see qunitles broken out for urban areas
I cannot find my quote now, but I believe the statistic was that 1 in 5 workers in NYC is making less than $10 an hour. If those families are making it on $40,000 a year, then it does not make sense that a couple making twice as much should not have alot of money left for luxuries. Even after rent and $20,000 for taxes they have $42,000 for disposable income. But, it is the DI that matters more than the GI.
