you basically went “and ignoring that, here’s what some other people came up with,”
Freely admitted—though I tried to explain why; simply, that I wasn’t able to find the numbers I went looking for.
but that has to be solved by reading a book or two
At the time of writing, I was mostly still at the ‘sniff test’ stage, to try and do a simple test to figure out if it was worth spending more effort on this line, or if I should look for some other approach. The initial response seems relatively promising—the next stage would seem to be finding /which/ “book or two” to read, or at least find some in-depth data source to get better numbers.
Does anyone have a good ‘in’ with, say, a university sociology department, who might know where to find “median discretionary income” stats, or even have them already handy in a spreadsheet?
