Are you this diver?

[irishsquid]

Yes on all except the last one. My last child is over 18, but still at home and attending college.

OOPS!, No mortgage. Paid house off last year!

How can :
Home ownership – 93% own their own home
Mortgage amount – Median of $148,000

be possible?.....Don't they mean "93% are in the process of owning their own home"


Here's my stats.......:

• Age – 57
• male
• Household Income – more than mentioned
• Occupation – white collar & white coat(ed)
• Home ownership –-yes---paid for
• Mortgage amount – therefore zero
• Marital Status –married happily for over 30 years
• Presence and age of children – none under our roof--all 3 'grown & gone'.....

Reasonably close.

Now, what's the definition of an "active diver"?

 

[jaydog]

Pretty much exactly on target - with the exception of a bit larger mortgage. Spooky to be Joe Average!

 

[wondercheese]

Not even close! I'm female, 29yrs old. I'm a graduate student so I make no money, I dont' own a house (also no mortgage!), don't have kids, not married. The only thing even remotely close is that my future occupation will be in scientific research.
