Nice...must be nice

The survey showed that households with discretionary income of more than $1.35 million now view real estate as a bargain.

Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons and Atlanta it seems, has put his mansion on the block for $10.9 million.  Blah blah blah.  The gem of the article above is the 'discretionary income of more than $1.35 million' statement.  How many people does then encapsulate?  Seriously, 135,000,000 pennies of discretionary income?  Hell, in these times, what is this discretionary income of which they remark?  If I have discretionary income now, it's only because I forgot to pay a bill.
