Here’s How Americans Spend Their Time, Sorted by Income

Would like to see controlled for race. Otherwise this is just what white people do compared to what Black/Brown people do.

Fishing: Poor people fish for mud suckers in the drainage ditch. Wealthy people fish for Salmon in remote pristine and private stretch of water in Alaska with a local guide company and a diver who swims down and puts large fish on their hooks.

You don't know much about Red States, do you Clam?

There aren't enough people in red states to affect the results of the poll

You also don't know much about population distribution either. I guess that kind of topic doesn't come up at your klan meetings

Basically it looks like everyone likes to do the same activities. Richer people usually just do it with more style.

Capitalism says so. Unfortunately :/

The very richest spend the most time running.

This is in accordance with the typical letsrunner.

A study was done. This proves it. To all the haters who couldn't grasp that us letsrunners are far superior to the average hobby jogger and typical american, you can finally see beyond a resonable doubt that we do in fact make over 150k. It would be nice if the survey included 5k prs, but I'm sure everyone knows how trustworthy we are and will understand.

Poor people sure love their religious television.

If you're poor, fantasy can be a wonderful escape. In the depths of the Depression, that escape was the movies, and all but the very poorest could go see them, at least occasionally. The movie studios understood that fantasy was what their audience wanted, and they gave it to them.

If you're poor now, fantasy is still a wonderful escape. But movies aren't so cheap, and anyway the cheap viewing is on TV, which all but the very poorest can afford. The TV preacher understands that fantasy--escape--simple *hope* is what his or her audience wants.

And gives it to them.

I agree... he is a lost cause. The ignorance caused by being the product of incest has made this person severely obtuse.

running

cardiovascular equipment (bicycle wind trainer)

yoga (routine loosening exercises)

working out (running & swimming)

strength training (calisthenics)

hiking

computer use for leisure

reading for personal interest (looking up things on computer)

------------------- average

socialize and communicating (not much but some)

walking (this should be at the top of the list!)

hobbies (cubing, gardening)

movies on internet (or rarely, tv)

relaxing / thinking (very good to do!)

I don't have much social life, except for girlfriend. I would like more of one, but don't like the type of socialization activities that most people do.

I don't know, wonder what would be a good answer to that? Oh, you know, maybe self discipline?

Healthy diets are way more expensive. The math on that isn't too hard.

Physically demanding jobs don't necessarily mean that you lose tons of weight, either.

You are 100% incorrect. The healthiest diet would be something like brown rice, black beans, broccoli, kale, potatoes, yams, water, etc. That stuff is practically free at the grocery story. And that's not much of an exaggeration. A bunch of kale costs $0.99. A bag of dried beans works out to a ridiculously inexpensive cost per serving.

The reason why you might think otherwise is that you probably have a misconception of what a healthy diet is, which might include exotic out-of- season fruits, organic this or organic that, beef, etc.
