Poorly worded survey question

[Liberal_in_LA]

I was reading a sun-sentinel article about financial hardships and came upon this survey question. I started to answer the question but realized I couldn't.

Have you saved enough for any situation or are you one emergency-room visit away from financial disaster?

Yes

No

1. Unless you are in the top 1%, NO WAY to have enough money for ANY situation

:wtf: Yep, bad wording, in the extreme. And faulty logic to boot.

2. I'd say.. it doesn't tell anyone anything

3. Yes.

4. Sounds like a survey question written by an 8th grader

That question was probably written by the reporter, who may or may not have graduated middle school.
