In our ward, the RS newsletter is called The Sego Lily Gazette.

It is free.

Less than. Less than. Of course, if I worked 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year on that newsletter, my gross would be considerably more than danimal's. He'll surpass that though in the next couple of years.

I think this poll, if complete, honest, and representative of the posters here indicates that the average poster is likely more affluent than the avg. American.

I wonder if CG is more affluent than CB.

Based on the way people talk about their jobs here, I would expect more in the >150K range. I guess we have a lot of big talkers. I'm shocked.

Or a lot of non-voters.

Since 90% of them are living in their moms basement playing video games and looking up porn I would guess yes.

The average income here might be in the top 5 to 10 percent of America. I know you were engaging understatement.

No doubt it's higher here than CB.
It's well know that this forum is demonstrably more intelligent and learned than CB.

To say that that the average income here is "probably" higher than the average American's income is ClouSeaU grade dectective work.

As a college sports board, this site draws (mostly) alumni from a private university and its in-state public rival. Most people here will have college degrees, advanced degrees, and a full-time job. Of course the average income here will be higher than a generic cross-section of middle America.

Default What this poll shows is that CG is solidly

in the middle class. Perhaps upper middle class. But the vast majority fall in the 60-149K range. Regardless of what some may think, that is not "rich".
