Now, let's try some unofficial statistics here. Can you already tell, roughly, what will be your household income for 2008? It's a little bit early, of course, but we are a predicting website, not an official statistics data gatherer.

The thing which is the most interesting - do you think, that your overall household experience for 2008 will be income growth, or maybe some decrease will be visible? Remember to take the recent economics depression into account, and try to predict, what it would be like by the end of December.

To remind you, household income is all pre-tax money of all residents over 15 years, living together with you. You should count in not only salaries and wages before taxes, but all income from other sources, like state allowances for unemployment, disability and child support, retirement income, income from investments and all other money, earned or made in any legal way.

So, compare your household income of 2008 and 2007 in your head approximately, and vote here - will this change be to the positive or negative side at the end of this year?

If you are not sure, at least tell us in comments, what is the level of your household income of 2008? In 2007, for example, average yearly income of one US household was about $50,233.00. About a quarter of US households had the annual incomes exceeding $100,000, and about 20 percent of households fell below poverty level, that is, earned less than about $19,000.
