Amazing how a personal experience throws data out the window!
I think this is interesting. Of course, the story is 2005. Throw those numbers in there and you get a compelling picture of the trouble folks find themselves in.[/quote]
I could care less about medians if my personal experience is different. I can’t go to a person selling my sister’s house today for example and show her the data and say, hey, the house price should be only 50% above 1999 – NOT DOUBLE!
Medians are just that, a median. I am not buying the data because it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. The data won’t change my salary or the price of a house I would like to buy, but can’t afford to. They aren’t useful to me.
