Do you consider The Simpson's as a very wealthy family? Why or why not?
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, 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. -Sadye (age 15)

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, 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 definately not wealthy. They're not poor, but they aren't wealthy either.
