Seems to me, that folks living in big EXPENSIVE cities would be more likely to need two incomes. In my area, we have the highest percentage of two income families in the country. Two reasons for this (IMHO): 1. It's so expensive you need a high income to survive. 2. Most people are very career oriented, and what people do for a living is often the basis of how they are veiwed (or respected) by others. Yes, your job sure beats the heck out of working at Wal Mart...bet it pays better to. -- Frank Cahill Associate Member, Piano Technicians Guild Northern Va
