I recently read that an elderly man was shot and killed in his car in a grocery store parking lot. Living in a gated community is great peace of mind, but being shot and killed if you leave to get milk is not.
But we're not rich people, middle class while he's working. Although we do have 401k at retirement we'll have a fixed income. Of course a lot is the unknown with investments, you really can't rely on that as a dedicated income.
So long way to say that TV looks great but also looks like its only for very wealthy people. If that's the case then I'm wasting my time but thank you.
I've looked up COL for TV and every site I find is based on a $250,000 house. Btdt not interested. Is it affordable for the "average Joe"?

I think you need to dig a bit deeper into the history of that killing. It apparently wasn't random and was believed to have been set up by the victims daughter.
