Do you consider The Simpson's as a very wealthy family? Why or why not?!
Question: When I watch the television show The Simpson's, I cannot tell if The Simpson's are wealthy or not, and yet they drive two different cars, live in good neighborhood, and they have in a good community, and yet, about their finances. They have traveled all over the world to London, Tokyo, New York City, and Brazil which cost money just to travel. I am not quite sure if they have money saved for Bart and Lisa to go to college and how much money Homer makes, but when I watch the show, I cannot tell if they are a family that is wealthy or not?
Would you consider The Simpson's as being a very wealthy family? Why or why not?

No, not wealthy!
Homer works in a factory-- a blue collar job.
They usually work long hours and it is a position which usually does not require any advanced education (college).
I think that they are portraying middle class...
Mr. Burns is wealthy/rich.
Look at Homer's friends, Do they seem wealthy?
Anyways it a cartoon. of course they are traveling the world...They never seem to get any older either huh??
No, they're not wealthy. They're supposed to be middle class. As far as all the travel, it is a fictional show, right? Same thing happens on Family Guy.
Personally, I wouldn't consider that the simpsons is a wealthy family. I agree with you that it could seem that way, but personally, I think its just Lisa who lets them travel mostly since she is so smart. But not sure exactly. Its a very good question.

If you compare there lifestyle, with that of people in inner city neighborhoods. Then they're millionaires.
Well, Homer works at a nuclear plant. Come on, he must make what $65 an hour?/more? But he drinks cheap DUFF beer, and eats bad food... so you know where all the money is going, what ever Marge isn't saving for a rainy day, Bart's bail, and Lisa's college. (HAHA)
No, they're definately not wealthy. They're not poor, but they aren't wealthy either.
