If the item has no sign but is out with the household garbage, then the owner has implicitly abandoned the item. 

I think "defer" is the most accurate/honest word to describe this short term temporary household cashflow bump phenomenon. 

So growing up in a one-job-household made money kind of tight.

It also holds true for an all female household versus a coed household.  

So there would be 3 heads of household in that single-family home.

Other metrics that I find valuable to understand are household income, poverty, unemployment, and educational attainment.

I work full time in electrical construction with a total household income of about $85,000/yr.

Credit is fantastic, and annual household income is about $200k with 0 current debt.

Residential real estate that doesn't consume more than 1/3 of the median household income in well-located cities with diverse economies and generally temperate climates will always be in demand. 

We require combined gross household income of at least 3x the rent (including water/sewer).
