The words credit, debt and bankrupt don't appear at all in that article. Given how easily credit is handed out, it probably should not be a complete surprise that creature comforts and home ownership is relatively high. How many of America's poor are deep in debt? How many could stop working if they had to? What about financial standing?

What's amazing is that people and families can go in cycles from poor to not so poor very easily. Look at the majority of people that claim bankruptcy due to medical illness as one point.
