My guess is they included children, who earn nothing, to get the average down that low

Maybe, but that would also be dishonest, because nobody is asking children why they are not having kids and not buying homes.

Oh I agree. They started with a premise and went about getting the numbers to match it, which is at best lousy journalism. I'm just theorizing about their methodology.
