The liquidation value of the average middle-class house is $10k - according to my divorce attorney.

$10k sounds high to me if we're talking about home electronics, furniture, etc?

Do people have a lot of expensive jewelry that's included, or does it include vehicles?

If we're talking the contents, you can get to $10k pretty easily, think appliances (a hundred or so each), laptops, stereo, etc.

If you held a garage sale today and let people go throughout your entire house, you could probably net $10k.

The ones I’m talking about are definitely not middle class.
