s/o income poll

So a few years back we did a giant poll about income and expenses and other demographic information - do you want me to put another one together this week? If so, what questions do you want answered?

I can't believe it's already been 2 years since we did that.

Total household income, divided by total # in household. Does that even make sense?

Duh - yes, that's the term. Brain still = mush.

Yes, but make sure it's called out as liquid net worth. It means less to me that you "own" 17 homes than it does what they are worth vs what you owe.

Yes, that is definitely what I meant, I just don't know the fancy financial term for it - for example, owning a $100K house having a $50K mortgage vs. a $300K house w/ a $290K mortgage.

I'd be interested in seeing the income and spending of families who have one income vs. two.

Duh - I see that you specifically said "equity" in your response. Again...zombie mush brain. I just want(ed) to make sure we are all speaking the same language when we are reading/interpreting the questions.
