Yes, I believe it was MONEY magazine.  Hitch is though that they
polled their average reader.  That was a family of 4.5 (or something
like that) that had a yearly income on avg of something around
$72K or $75K, and spent x% of it and invested or saved x% of it,
etc.  i.e. it was far from the average Oregonian.  

If you want a good idea of per capita statistics or class breakdowns
by category you might try the almanac of economic statistics, or
one of those big paper books you find in the library and never think
about using.
