Analyze the economic strength of each family

First of all, I am not a modern family fan. Someone in my family has been chasing after me. Now there is really nothing to watch in American TV series. Just watch it. The plot is okay and slightly funny. But in the play, the Americans’ good lives, especially the good houses and cars, are more attractive to me, but it feels somewhat similar to the TVB where everyone is 80 square meters, and the bankrupt sisters in bankruptcy are in the same clothes every day of more than 2000 dollars. It's a bit fake.

Here is an analysis of their economic situation:
First of all, in terms of sunlight, earthquakes, long-term outdoor swimming pools, no snow in winter, and green vegetation, it should be South Central, but it is definitely not Miami, it may be Houston or LA. The father-in-law and son-in-law’s family should be in the neighbouring community. It’s often fine to drive the cl500 to pass by and tease your grandson or son-in-law. The two boys are both good public (look at the campus and playing games, it’s estimated). It's the school district room in LA.

The old man seems to be a contractor or a factory owner. Anyway, he is a manual worker. He is all proficient in water, electricity, wood pliers, car washers, and can already be a regularized company as a hand-lifting shop. He basically does not go to the company all day long, but from Bentley Continental For such a business car (they have never been in the play, stop in the yard to watch), you should take some upper-level routes to entertain the high-level customers of big customers. Marrying a wife with a strong Latin beauty is also a way to increase the personality and charm of customers. Kind of means.

Live in a house with a swimming pool and independent yard, a single-storey building area of ​​at least 500 square meters, a three-storey house without an independent wall and an outdoor swimming pool, the LA price should be around $2-4 million, which is at least, if it is In the top rich district, the price is out of range, but it shouldn’t be the top rich district without a fence. To be a top rich, you must have basic surveillance and security measures. Please note that the decoration of Lao Zhangren's home is the top of the top, just one detail: a Porsche Design lamp is placed in the bedroom of him and the Latin beauty. The unit price of this lamp is about 2500 dollars, and it is sold at 15000-20000 yuan in China. For families who can put this kind of table lamp, the ratio of house price to decoration price will not be less than 1:0.5, and the price of luxury decoration should be between $1 and $2 million. You bring a table lamp for $3,000. The house alone is at least 3-6 million dollars. Some people say that his house is about $1 million, please: Will your house with 6 million people buy 20,000 table lamps? At least I dare not.

Okay-the old man has a Bentley Continental and a CL500, both of the latest models, 200,000 plus 100,000 dollars. Other cars are not in use yet. It is estimated that there should be a large off-road vehicle, such as GL500 and the like, about 100,000 dollars The car, the car is about 400,000 dollars, from the car point of view, it is certainly not the top rich, because the slightly better law firm partners in American TV dramas are generally at least 911, California and the like. This old man loves cars very much, and he is the best buy he can buy. A car is an important indicator of his economic strength.

Clothes-the old man wears bad clothes, but the materials of Latin beauty clothes are not cheap. I am personally not familiar with clothes brands. It should be easier for female audiences to analyze this. Latin chubby wears rags too, this one doesn’t show up.

Food-If you have anything to do, go to the club to lengthen the luxury car to eat. It can't be done without 500-1000 dollars per person. If you have nothing to do at home, you can drink a glass of red wine. This level of consumption is also quite arrogant.

Play--it’s okay to play with model airplanes and watch the ball. It’s normal. The Latina will have afternoon tea in the city center when they’re okay. They will go shopping for two. , Going out to play should also be in economy class, so this aspect can also reflect that he is rich, but not a real rich man.

It is estimated that Lao Zhangren’s annual net income should not be less than 1 million dollars. Normalized manufacturing companies generally have at least 100 employees. Based on the per capita output value and average profit rate of the U.S. industry, his company can earn at least 2 million dollars a year. Moreover, the old man has accumulated considerable savings for many years (but he was divided in half by his ex-wife). Please note that the boss of the United States also has various ways to avoid taxes, so his net income tax rate is much lower than that of his baby's family. According to his consumption level and the old China and the United States I know, fixed plus current assets will not be less than 8 million dollars, but they will definitely not be higher than 30 million dollars, otherwise he will have to open a cow, horse, Martin, and the like.

Son-in-law's family: Senior agency, it seems that he won some award from a local real estate agent in the next few seasons. It should be top sales, which specializes in selling middle and high-end houses. It is also the kind of thing that does not go to work. But from their various aspects, The annual income should be 200,000 to 400,000 US dollars. After tax, it is estimated to be divided by 2, and the net income is 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars. Typical of the middle class in the United States, sales are not smart but hardworking. This is a relatively common situation in middle-class families in the United States. It is a normal family in the play, that is, the son-in-law is played by the screenwriter. It's all normal.

Living: The most common middle-class house in the United States, the back and the front courtyard are next to other people's houses, with a built-up area of ​​about 150-200 square meters. The school district house in LA also costs 500,000 to 1 million dollars. In terms of decoration, the decoration is ordinary, and all aspects are relatively ordinary.

OK: MPV plus an ordinary car, it's not the latest model, it's all ordinary American brands, there is nothing to say;

Yi: There is nothing to say.

Food: I can hardly see their family going out to eat, of course, because there is a house wife, but the rich house wife often goes out to be happy and happy.

Play: Mainly squat at home, don't go out to play much, and the cost of going out is not high.

Analyzing the situation of their family, it is estimated that all car loans and mortgages should be cleaned up. Save some money for the three children to go to college. Especially the eldest daughter will have SAT in two years. The main consumption is the parenting cost. However, the son-in-law likes to play golf, American golf No matter how cheap it is, it is not something the average blue-collar class can afford to play the whole game, so his income should be considered very good in the SOHO family, and his life is relatively leisurely, but the premise is not to go out often to accept service consumption, otherwise He immediately bottomed his pocket.

Son and son's husband: This one is weird and difficult to analyze. My son is a lawyer. I think he is over 30 years old. He should be promoted to associate. If he is a large-scale law firm in LA, his annual income is no problem, but he still has to pay a high tax. 10-25 is good. . The fat husband is a sports student, the starting forward of the Illinois State Football Team, a rural man but the tutor is very good, he is proficient in piano, chess and poetry. I remember going to some clown school later, but I didn't work properly.

Live: Old-fashioned house, it is difficult to tell how much it is worth, is it rented? Look at the analysis later, because such a big house does not match their car. The area seems to be larger than that of the son-in-law's family, but there is no yard directly facing the street. I think it is about 500,000 dollars. Judging from the age of these two, it is estimated that they are still paying off the loan. The home furnishings are average, but please pay attention to one detail, that is, Lily went home. Fatty let the mural painted by the decoration. This mural is not cheap. It can't be done without thousands of dollars. This kind of luxury consumption is still quite a lot in their home. For example, when Lily takes a set of big-name Star photos, please pay attention to the camera, it should be full-frame. If you buy a small baby outfit, you can start at 200-300 dollars for one set, and 1,000-2000 dollars for a few sets. We don’t understand the gay world. Their pursuit of external and internal beauty may be the most expensive.

OK: Ordinary American cars. It can be seen that they have a tight life here. After all, lawyers still have to drive a good car to show their image. Usually, many students of the top 50 law schools in the United States will choose bba or Japanese and American students to buy a car with a graduation loan. Cars, at least I know a few, even if there are student loans to be repaid, cars and formal wear are still very important to lawyers.

Food: Mainly eat at home. But when he saw Cosco shopping, the lawyer brother exclaimed: How could it be so cheap? I bought three cars and spent thousands of dollars passionately. On the one hand, he cares about the price. Even if the house is full of ugly diaper packaging, it doesn’t matter. On the other hand, he explains that the place where he usually consumes is very expensive. He rarely goes to supermarkets, because his family is very good. His parents seldom go to this kind of warehouse supermarket. When they grow up, they don't bother to go to this kind of supermarket. Consumption in this place is not cheap.

Yi: I can’t see it, but it’s definitely better than the clothes worn by the son-in-law’s family. There are many sets of clothes that change back and forth in each episode. The bells and whistles are pretty good. The son-in-law’s family basically wears one or two clothes all day long. It’s quite good to raise three babies Strenuous.

Play: Mainly play with children, participate in various parent-child classes, and buy all kinds of clothes for her. This aspect of consumption is not too cheap.

Their family and son-in-law’s income should be similar, but the accumulation time is short. On the other hand, the cost of raising is relatively low. It is estimated that the biggest consumption is the mortgage. Judging from the plot, the lawyer brother should be very busy. There are often scenes of him rushing to work, and the fat guy asks him to stay and continue playing. From the cost of income, it is obviously not as easy as my brother-in-law. In terms of plot arrangement: the two of them have the strongest intelligence, the best academic qualifications and various knowledge abilities, and basically no problems caused by low intelligence (son-in-law and stupid son are often stupid). The laughs are basically gay. From an economic perspective, they are a relatively normal middle and upper middle class in the United States.

There is also a mother: It should be divided into half of the value of the father, and it is okay to travel around the world and play, and the money is definitely not young or old.

In short, these three families are all middle and upper class in Americans, and they are basically either boss or soho, professional, working hours are free to control, otherwise the show cannot be filmed. It would be useless to force the teacher to go to work all day long in Breaking Bad.

In short: what the screenwriter conveys is "money may not buy joy, but no money must be no joy!"
