I think the scale was a little tight. Whats the difference between 1200/year and 1600/year ? Who can tell the difference? I have Jet friends that spend way over 10k / year. They buy trailers and campers, big trucks, and Jets. I would suggest the poll would be more interesting if you started with 1k and went up in increments of 3k or 5k. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see people that spend over 30k/year. That doesn't necessarily mean they are rich. Some people just spend everything they have and never save a dime. You know, live for today because tomorrow may never come.
