        Al lives in a suburb of Chicago and is the proud owner of a 1970s Dodge Demon. He works as a shoe salesman at the fictional Gary's Shoes and Accessories for Today's Woman in the fictional New Market Mall. Al hates his job, loses it several times throughout the series, yet always ends up coming back to it. There is a running joke throughout the show that Al makes minimum wage. Despite Al's hatred of his job, its only redeeming feature in his opinion is the fact it gets him out of the house and away from Peggy.

        In one episode, Al is offered early retirement and given a year's pay: $12,000, yet in another he says that after taxes and Peggy's spending he only gets one nickel out of every paycheck. In "My Mom, The Mom", Al states he earns a 10% commission on each sale. In "Weenie Tot Lovers and Other Strangers", Peg states his paycheck was for "80 pesos". The family also brought in income through game-shows, theft, various absurd schemes, and mooching off of the Rhoades/D'Arcy's wealth.

    Vernon wasn't just a salesman though, he owned the company that sold the drills. And we're not talking about regular drills you use to a put a hole in your wall, he sold drills to large manufacturers across a range of industries like construction, mining etc. so we can presume Vernon actually had an above average income.

        She said Dumbledor was an oil driller in a tweet as well. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

      Upper middle class people do not live in cardboard boxes like this, I can assure you.

      This house is an upper working (lower) class person's house.

    Potter took place in the early 90's and land was much cheaper in the West back then.

    The house my Dad got in Australia in 1999 for 90k sold for close to a million a year ago.
