Patio doors are so f*cking expensive. We need to replace like five more in our condo, and we’re dreading it. I almost rather sell.

I don't know the answer so I can't vote. I need to know everyone's family income and net worth to know where I stand.

Figure out how to phrase the question before trying to obtain data. JFC.
It’s the respondent’s job to pick one and vote accordingly.

This has nothing to do with sound; it's about income.

Our mortgage is paid off, but we have very little in savings, two old cars, and kids who will be post high school in 3 and 6 years. We live pretty comfortably, but I fret about money quite a lot. It’s crazy how often there are non-regular bills from $200 to $600. Every time I think we can put some away, semi-annual guitar lesson fees are due, an air conditioner capacitor needs to be replaced, or my wife hits a pothole after a Minnesota winter and we need 4 new tires. And to be fair, we prioritize vacationing regularly. I don’t want to wait until I’m old to do all my traveling.

we could simplify this to "how much money does your household spend on average per month?"
