Money Vs. Income = Hilarity

Again, from my Money & Banking textbook, another quote, this one about how people confuse money (what people say) with income (what economists would call it)...

People also use the word money to describe what economists call income, as in the sentence "Sheila would be a wonderful catch; she has a good job and earns a lot of money."

Does anyone even speak like that anymore? "A wonderful catch"? Seriously?
