Scottey can you please point out in my post that you replied to where I said anything about the example customer having an HDTV set. I'm talking about the lower middle class who most likely doesn't even own an HDTV set that enjoys startover.
Honestly its amazing reading your high horse because tons of people end up having kids a bit early and they aren't spending money beyond what they need to live. They both are most likely working two full time jobs and one is working part time. At on average 9 bucks an hour for the two full time jobs and say 7 bucks an hour for the part time job we are looking at a total income around of around 35 grand a year net. When your raising one child that money goes fast for school cloths etc. Medical checkups, kids getting sick, you getting sick, insurance, gas and food all costing money and going up in price. Lets just pray they own their home which they likely don't.
Sorry but when the year is over I doubt much money will be left to put in the bank. Oh lets not forget about the cheapest car payments both of them can get and the repairs and such that go along with them. Yes they could take the bus but this most likely kills the part time job and any life they may have with their kids. So simply put the part time job is paying for their cars. Lets not forget those credit card payments for those few major bills which they don't have the cash to pay such as that hospital visit when your son breaks his arm for example or that major car repair. They may have a car payment but its a very low payment because its a used car most likely not under warranty in a short period of time.
The fact is like others have said this TV set is the only reason some of these families survive in current America with everything going on and yes that 150 bucks a year for that DVR box is a very large amount of money when you don't have it to begin with.
