the census is taken every ten years.
something may have changed in the interim?
It’s hard for me to justify spending over $6 for a simple pizza. Until the Little Caesars closed, I could get a nice pizza for $5. Then the local Papa Murphy’s had a Friday $5 special for a basic cheese or pepperoni or sausage pizza, although you did have to bake it yourself. They went to $5.50 which was still OK, then they discontinued that special completely. They ran some other specials, but they were all about $10. If I’m going to pay $10 for a pizza that I have to bake myself, I might as well make it from scratch for about $2.
Moreover, Sunshine likes thin crust and I like thick, so I can make us each a pizza and we get exactly what we want.
Personally, I’m done with “Carry Out” pizza.
As an example, I’m not a fan of red bell peppers, but Sunshine is… so I made this up specifically for her – thin crust, bell peppers and the exact amount of cheese she wanted.

Those figures were from 2022. The U.S. Census Bureau website says it releases income, poverty and health insurance statistics from its Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement, known as CPS ASEC, every September. I’m sure $191k is the average something but I can’t conceive it being US median income.
The mean, maybe, but not the median.

Very sensible and accomodating!
That is probably the accountant coming out in me. After 30+ years in accounting, I guess my brain just “runs the numbers” without even thinking about it.

I remember back in The 80’s when the “21 Club” in NYC charged $21 for a hamburger and people collapsed in their fainting couches. It was a damn good burger I’d pay $22 for it now if they were still open.

I used to “ impress “ clients by taking them to get the best burger in NYC and take them to 21 for burgers ! It was cheaper than going to Sparks for dinner for damn sure and they were all over the moon about going to 21

Curiosity where are you from?
Originally, I lived just outside of Baltimore, MD… now I live in Arizona (30+/- minutes from Phoenix).
Excited about the 'southwest swing’aka the world serious starting up? My friend visiting there said the city was just lit last night.
I really like the Southwest. I had an opportunity to move to Arizona 10 years earlier and didn’t do it.
When I look back on my life, that is my biggest regret.

Life is kind of funny… I look back at major decisions in my life and think what if I had taken the “left fork in the road instead of the right”?? How different would my life had been??
I guess there is no way to know and all you can do is attempt to make the right decision at the time and hope for the best.
Perhaps the subject of “regrets” would be a good starter for another thread.

SoCal, but still……… there’s a well known taco joint in Culver City that is always busy. My wife grew up in the area and remembers tacos being $1.25 each (but that was 35 years ago). Fast forward to immediately pre-Covid and I think they were $3.75.
Our son was in the area recently and wanted his kids to taste what Gramma used to love. They’re now $5.70 each. He did say, though, that the size was still the same, so that’s a positive. IMHO these are tacos in the style of Taco Bell (at +/- 3x the price), so nothing really special……. just nostalgia.
