Is it really important to any of us what the average or the median income is? Unless you planning to open a business and need to do some analysis then who cares?
What IS important is your monthly budget calculation. You can find all the info you need in this forum to help you estimate a monthly expense flow. Then simply figure you monthly income flow and make sure that you have enough. Obviously you need more than the typical expense flow (add in some trips back north, savings, extra fun things, medical, dental, travel etc.)

Russ-Yes, you're right, of course. It all boils down to an individual's income stream vs. anticipated costs.
The reason for a poll would be to cut through the TV marketing hype regarding average income, and to get some perspective about what is the median income level. What is the real situation?
If some TOTV'ers are grousing about prices and the average income is $65K, someone with a projected retirement income of $55K might realize they will have to budget carefully to live in TV, while someone with a projected retirement income of $75K might feel reassured that they can live comfortably in TV.
Being a relative newbie I don't know how to start a poll and I'm not sure how to make it a blind poll.
