compalining about their cell phone package cost
looking to buy used hockey equipment
where some of these guys live
rarely see posts of questions about high end holiday destinations
complaints of winter tire costs
the quality of the Flame season ticket seats
how young some of the posters are I bet average age might be 32
I really have to wonder if this is the most frugal group I have ever come across or just a bunch of liars.
If I was guessing from all of the posts I have read the average income would be more realistic between $45K-$60K

People who are well off are typically viewed as being even more well off than they really are. This is because they:
-Go on a couple vacations a year using the cheapest flight option which totals 1 vacation from the person who does no research.
-Avoid superstore liquor store when looking for a pop
I consider myself to be a very hard worker clocking at least 10 hours a day (not including the 3 i am on CP lol) I also do pretty good for my age. The cheapest cell plan or cable package etc threads have put me in a position to pay half of what friends do. I can show up to shinny with a pair of used high end bauer skates and have paid half what a friend did to wear the velcro buckle ups.
I understand your point however I personally would like to make a point that CP has saved me thousands over the years!
