70-Percent Versus 30-Percent

 I was watching CNBC today....piece came up....polling data: 70% of Americans are feeling financially stressed.  

How they defined 'stressed'?  That was not clear.

Back around Christmas....I noticed a commentary by someone (older guy) who'd taken some gal to the movies.  I got the impression that he hadn't been out in several years and he was rather shocked that it was in the $30 range for tickets and popcorn/soda.

It's almost daily that I'll read some comment where someone had to replace something (like a refrigerator or washer) and shocked at the price-tag and the delivery fee.  

But the other side of this....30-percent of people aren't financially stressed.  That's a fair sum of people.
