What is your total Household Annual Income?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Poll question: What is your total Household Annual Income?

How does DU stack up monetarily :shrug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. Are you people being truthful?

I don't know if I can trust you Jokers here in the Lounge :D :hi:

[kentauros]

9. I tell all, I see all

in Spirit anyway :P

And yes, I did just add to the 100k and below bar

Though a good chunk of it is going to my cat's veterinary bill at the moment...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. Are you one of the Jokers...?

Something about that emoticon you posted makes me suspicious :D
I am sure the kitty thanks you ;)

[kentauros]

15. No I'm not a Joker

I will say it's closer to one end than the other...

I know Kipper thanks me; he's just anxious to get home. I'm glad I make enough to take care of my only "family member" :)
He's getting pet-insurance after this!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. Do you feed him caviar ?

:D

[kentauros]

20. I think the vet's feeding him greenbacks at the moment

:o

He got really sick and had to go to a specialists clinic, thus the BILL. My regular vet is far more affordable. In this case, I'm glad I have one regular credit card and one medical credit card (originally for the dental bills...)

Still, he's worth it :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. Of course he is worth it ...(hint hint)

now would be a good time to post a pic ;) (of the kitty, silly:D )

[kentauros]

24. okely dokely neighbor!

:D

He's difficult for me to photograph as he's all black and can't stand being photographed

These pics are a little over a year old, while he's about 8-1/2 y-o now. I'll be taking pics when he's home again...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. He is gorgeous!

:loveya:

[REP]

31. Must be something about the black kitties!

My Stewart is a ringer for your guy, and his med bills have been nearly $8K this year. Not kidding. He's doing great, though!

Stewie as a baby:

[kentauros]

36. Yeah, I'd say so!

:)
Those are all beautiful kitties!

I saw your post on Dawgmom's thread, and I think mine has received similar treatment and costs. I haven't added up how much the regular vet has gotten from me this year, only what I'm paying out to the specialists. That alone is approaching $6k. But like you or someone else pointed out, if I or another human had to go through the same treatment, even with insurance it'd likely be a lot higher. And we'd still pay it out. Family is family no matter what form it takes :)

[LeftyMom]

2. Last year, or expected for this year?

I think we can safely assume I'm not going to win the lottery between now and New Year, but depending on which year you want, it'll be a different bracket, and down, naturally. :eyes:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. hmmmm...I guess we should go for last year since this year isn't over

and down...yeah, me too ~sigh~

[reyd reid reed]

4. Not enough.

Not nearly enough.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. tell me about it !

:hug: I can give hugs cause they are free :D :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

6. ...

:hug:

:pals:

[NMDemDist2]

7. ooops, I went one higher bracket cuz I was counting THIS year's income

last year wasn't as good.....

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. no biggie...nothing scientific going on here --

glad that you are doing better this year...:woohoo:

[NMDemDist2]

12. I gotta tell ya

the move to this lil rural nowhere town from the big city was the best thing that ever happened to us.

I'm so glad we took the chance. Takes courage to sell everything and load a UHaul and land in a new place with no family or prospects when you're pushing 50.

took a while to find our 'spot' but we're doing so much better here and now than we did in the big city.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. Although, I am surrounded by Neanderthal Rednecks, I would not

trade my piece of land in the country for anything. Love the city and will visit any time. I have to have land. I think I get it from my Grandpa. He loved land and so do I. Love It!!

[Jamastiene]

16. I do too.

Right now, I am paying on .666 of an acre of property. That's how it was listed on the sign out front. I knew I had to make it mine when I saw that. :evilgrin: :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. heehee

only YOU :D :hug: :hi:

[Tom Kitten]

8. right now zero income

would you even care to know how I survive being in the bottom bracket since unemployment ran out months ago?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. Are you staying with Mom and Dad ?

:shrug:

I am sure you can use a hug :hug:

[Tom Kitten]

19. I sure can use a hug!

It took a year for my savings to get all used up, Mom and Dad helped me but once Sarah Palin became known good old Dad went and re-registered as a Republican just so he could support her and that's the last I've heard from him even though he lives just 5 miles away...I told him I just have a cell phone and I buy minutes so I guess he can't be bothered about calling me because I don't know why...other than the pretty obvious fact that I am a true failure in life.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. sheesh ...

I am pretty sure my Dad voted for Obama (although we don't talk very much either...same deal, I am a complete and total failure).

My seriously deluded Mother voted for Insane and Failin :eyes:

eta another hug :hug:

[Lucian]

23. It's hard to believe there's quite a few people here...

who make over $100,000/yr. I make $85,000/yr less than that, and only in a good year.

[kentauros]

25. I don't know about just those that frequent the Lounge (and are posting to the poll)

but I have seen plenty of professionals all throughout DU. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, veterinarians and seemingly everything else. My 'expertise' falls under engineering, though I am not one. I just work for them ;)

[Lucian]

27. Ah, good point.

We do have plenty of professionals here.

[kentauros]

29. Yeah

And Skinner and EarlG are quite adept at the computer stuff, or none of us would be here ;)
Of course, that may not be either's profession, but I wouldn't doubt it if at least one was an IT (or had been) of some kind...

[Adsos Letter]

30. My wife is a well compensated professional, and I am retired, but with good income.

it adds up...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

44. I wish I was retired...

:D :hi:

[pokerfan]

26. Where's the category for those of us

who make more than $750K but less than $1M? ;)

[kentauros]

28. Because the category doesn't exist

you also don't exist. So, time to disappear in a puff of logic :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. good for you...

tell the lie any way you want to...your choice.

[In_The_Wind]

32. This year it has fluctuated all of the way into the crapper.

I'm going to do my best to pull us out of this hole.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. Hang on, baby ....

[InkAddict]

33. Do you mean the Household Fraction of-an -Annual Income?

An actual "annual" income would be better represented in a Sherman T. Peabody's "Fractured Fairytales" cartoon for us.

We haven't been an actual family "annual-income" household for at least a decade, more like the Household quarterly income versus zilch plus or minus. When it's good, it's good and needs to be saved for when it's not, like the other 9 months when it's been as bad as 75-100% less, unemployment insurance included, so when they talk about the CPI it's not reflecting this family anymore. With the bail-out accelerating, the CPI need to be changed to reflect the Citizen-Price-Index, reflecting the annualized life-time cost to average families of the elite's heist of America.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

45. I mean...don't overthink it...

it's only money and this is just the Lounge :D :hi:

[TZ]

34. I'm actually at the lower end of one of those brackets.

Makes me seem much better off than I am..Though I do okay, being one of those professional types.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. how nice for you and your kitties

:)

[Pierre.Suave]

35. Eleventy Brazilian Dollars

For Series!!!!

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

39. and all you want is a 'Vette with a stick shift ....

:eyes: :D :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

41. Yes

I am easy to please.

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. why aren't you at school?

tsk. tsk. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

51. Who says I am not?

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

52. well, you are obviously not studying where ever you are...

O_O

[Pierre.Suave]

55. Who needs to study...

its not like there is a midterm tomorrow or anything...



oh wait...


SHIT, there is...

Damn...

I better go study...

:P

[billyskank]

37. Well, it's always changing with the exchange rate

Right now it's about $50,686, so I'm just squeezing into that bracket there. :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. the exchange is very favourable for you at the moment, right?

I would think. :hi:

[billyskank]

50. Not really.

The pound has kinda crashed in the last couple of months. x(

[Tuesday Afternoon]

53. next to the dollar? it can't have crashed worse than the dollar?

what a mess, this economy, eh?

[Inchworm]

48. If I told ya, I'd have to kill ya

No wait..

If I told you, you'd want to kill me :eyes:

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. that much, h'uh??

how about a hug instead? :hug: :hi:

[KamaAina]

54. Holy cats! I need to be nicer to a couple of DUers

trouble is, I don't know which two! :shrug:

[Jamastiene]

57. I was thinking the same thing.

I'm up for adoption, rich folks. :hi:

[Jamastiene]

56. $15,000 and under.

Poor folk here. :hi:

[Breeze54]

58. Nobody's business but our own.

:hi:

Suffice it to say; we aren't rich but we eat, sometimes take out and we pay our bills.

[ghostsofgiants]

59. $15,000 or under here.

I'm a student working a shit job to pay the bills. Good times.

[mwooldri]

60. You need the answer in Zimbabwe Dollars before the re-valuation? nt

[Iggo]

61. 75 & under.

But that's three adult males: 2 full time workers and 1 retiree.

[Blue-Jay]

62. one MILLION dollars!
