I’d be curious as to how the “what do you do with the income?”

Was it an open response or was it multiple choice?

If it’s multiple choice, then that automatically frames the answers, if this survey was sent out by Airbnb or a short term rental advocacy group, of course they will frame the multiple choice answers so that it looks like STR owners are “using the money to get by”

That's a very thoughtful critique that I overlooked. I'd take it a step further now that I think about it. Money is fungible. That's like its thing. To ask what someone does with specific money they make is a useful question in some limited budget-making capacity, but interpreting it seems pretty... complicated. What will I do with the money I make today? What about the money I make working for my other job? Sort of a stupid question...
