A Wall Street Journal poll shows Americans want a home, a family and a comfortable retirement, but say those goals are tough to achieve even with hard work
I’m shocked that more people think marriage or children is “very easy or somewhat easy” compared to an annual vacation.
Edit: I guess if you interpret it as ever getting married or having a child (and nothing thereafter) then…maybe?
I love radar charts from an aesthetic perspective, but I’ve never heard a convincing case where they’re the best way to convey information.
Does a radar chart have any advantage here over a bar chart? To me this is a case of data is beautiful but the beauty is actually kind of distracting from the message of the data.

Wsj is really behind on the headlines
“Is it easy” is such a stupid opinion poll.
Who the hell did they poll?
