I saw a sign for a "Boating Convention" - I imagine this is for people with boats (I do not have one) ... what I do find interesting is that so many people do have boats - large, small - very small - I imagine they use it for fishing or just being out on the water ... and the people that own boats are not what I would term "rich" by any means - ... and that is indeed a sign of prosperity - a system that allows almost anyone with limited means to have/own a boat - It is not what one earns (in absolute terms) that is important - but what one can afford to purchase (or lease) with what one earns - and there is no doubt in my mind that even accounting for inflation, what anyone earns today goes farther than it ever did - and so what the rich used to enjoy is now available to the not so rich.
