Sorry to say this is a very US centric point of view. Here most of the
practisers are members of clubs and don't belong to the top 5% income earners.
Of course increase of price of gliders implies that clubs are more expensive,
and so that people who don't earn a lot, particularly young people, have more
and more difficulties to soar. I think it is an obvious constatation that
clubs are more and more stuffed with old guys, and in my opinion, this is a
*very bad trend*.

Only problem is that much of the rise in HH income
is due to the rise in two-income families, so you may
be more likely to need to get some of the money from
your spouse. ;-)

I will be happy to see a spouse who accepts that even small part
of her earnings goes to a sport that she dislikes by principle :-(
