Especially given how much electricity used by Lisa ALONE, and we know none of them are holding back in that regard. I guess they've got some pretty amazing tax returns from claiming eleven dependents, but that's only once a year. How do they make things work? Lynn Sr. originally worked for an IT company until Job Insecurity where it was revealed he quit to pursue his dream of being chef, atlhough he started out as a dish washer at the Aloha Comrade Hawaiian Russian Fusion Restaurant, until his kids helped him become the head chef. In A Novel Idea it's revealed that Rita works as a dental assisstant, but her dream is to be a novelist, I'm not certain what episode will show her taking the first step to actually trying to achieve her dream though. Is that right? I was browsing through the upcoming episodes of Season two, and I came across an episode titled "Read a Loud". Given her apparent passion and the title sounding similar to her name, Rita pursuing her dream career sounds like a plausible situation for what that episode could be about.

I'm still a bit iffy on how they can be financially sound, but hey, I've been willing to suspend disbelief on a lot more than that!
