A short, but good read in Time Magazine about what it means to be an average American. At first sniff, being merely average is probably not something we strive for. But when put into perspective, being average really is glass half-full, considering how much the odds are stacked against some people, many of whom don’t have much choice in the game.
So, some stats and how my household compares:
Average Household: 2.6 members
Our household: 4 members
Average Age: 36.6
My Age: 36.5
Average Exercise: just under 20 minutes per day
My Exercise: two hours per week of hockey, plus lifting babies endlessly
Average who believe in god: 90%
My belief: No comment
Bible Owners: 90%
My Bible Owning: 0%
The average American:
Prefers figure skating to NASCAR
I prefer figure skating to NASCAR
Average person lives in the state they were born
I live in the state in which I was born
Spends more money in restaurants than grocery stores
