(September 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Al Bundy is a simple, working - class man, forever regretful of the turns his life has taken since the end of high school . He was a star running back on the Polk High School football team . However, marriage and a broken leg prevented him from attending university on a college football scholarship . </P> <P> Al is married to Peggy, whom he mistakenly asked to marry him while drunk . They have two children: Kelly, a promiscuous dumb blonde, and Bud, an intelligent but perpetually horny and unpopular schemer named after a brand of beer . In two separate episodes Peg refers to Al as Allen . Al lives in a suburb of Chicago and is the proud owner of a 1970s Dodge automobile (although the model shown occasionally on - screen is a Plymouth Duster, it is referred to throughout the series as simply "The Dodge"). He works as a shoe salesman at the fictional Gary's Shoes and Accessories for Today's Woman in the fictional New Market Mall . Al hates his job, loses it several times throughout the series, yet always ends up coming back to it . There is a running joke throughout the show that Al makes minimum - wage . However, in one episode, Al is offered early retirement and given a year's pay: $12,000, yet in another he says that after taxes and Peggy's spending he only gets one nickel out of every paycheck . In "My Mom, The Mom", Al states that he earns a 10% commission on each sale . In "Weenie Tot Lovers and Other Strangers", Peg states that his paycheck was for "80 pesos". The family also brought in income through game - shows, theft, various absurd schemes and mooching off of the Rhoades / D'Arcy's wealth throughout the series . </P>
