Wow we are all broke when you look at the prices of everything.

[@12KevinPower]

I remember when bread used to be 20 cents for a whole loaf!

[@mikeatback]

If you divide everything by five does it looks similar to the 70s

[@sandtoy11510]

@djpuplex. We are also soft and entitled. No one is starving… be thankful for what you have

[@collinsmith6611]

Hell yeah..😂

[@Harvest717]

​@sandtoy11510 The problem is that about 14 million children are food insecure in the US. So I would not say that no one is starving.

[@MaXiMoS54]

The census statistics say the household income is like 71,000 so the median income is like 35,000. So idk where people get these 50k+ average incomes from

[@gritty011]

@@MaXiMoS54 my wife works at a school so not paid a lot

[@gritty011]

Well a bunch of people making very high 6 figure incomes can raise that median income really high but a big difference 1 person making 35 and 1 person making 100k really cranks up that median

[@DaSoggyTurd]

​@@gritty011You're thinking of mean.

[@nickthequick]

We can be pretty sure that people who follow this channel have a higher than median household income.

Does 60K feel like enough in New York?

[@chrystal790]

@@ProudMoney it feels like enough because I am living with my parents and I have a decent amount of savings. Can’t speak for others.

[@metalheadami123]

I live in California. I make 135k after taxes, pention, benefits and 5% retirement Im only keeping 60% of my checks 😅

[@dustin7708]

So these are individual incomes, not household incomes? They seem high for median individual incomes.
Edit: I forgot you mentioned location, someone in CA needs more to live the same lifestyle as someone in the south or Midwest.

[@Not_Sure_2505]

If I made the total comp I do now only 10 years ago, I'd be living like an absolute king.

[@BNE626]

Do these numbers take into account the professions each are in? That would be interesting… thanks.

[@XFatherGod]

Some of those jobs get paid cash and don’t report it

[@SeanNYC914]

Is this based on total compensation including bonuses or just the salary?

[@MaximumRideMaster]

Is this gross or net?

[@aosaa1368]

I’m pretty sure gross

I reside in the DMV metro area (DC/MD/VA) in the 7th wealthiest county in the U.S. My annual gross salary is a little over $170K and due to the cost of living here, trust me when I say it is NOT enough! 😅

[@drchrisheidelberg]

Same here sister!

[@Edward_Williams]

Making $170k down here in Florida, you will would be able to live extremely comfortably, like a king/queen, but not so much not in some parts of Miami and Orlando though.

[@ryanammermann]

I don't make salary and neither does have the Americans so I don't know where they're getting their numbers cause I only make half that s***. And I make decent money.

[@paufishing3782]

What’s decent money to you?

[@collinskidooallday18]

When referencing salary, people are typically referring to annual income. So it’s still applicable.

[@faxaccount8216]

Well, goodness, after seeing this I feel I’m being underpaid
