minus-squareKairoslinkfedilinkEnglish4•12 hours agoThat’s not correct. The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person
minus-squareObjectivityIncarnatelinkfedilinkEnglish2•8 hours agoThe average wealth could be $1,990,000 and they’d still be incorrect, lol (assuming the minimum value for “multimilion”, $2 million).
minus-square@LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish4•12 hours agoYeah their number sounded really high, but fuck it hurt to see 250k as well. Do I count as 0 or a negative number if I have more debt than my possessions are worth?
minus-squareKairoslinkfedilinkEnglish3•11 hours agoI think 0? I’m not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.
minus-square@Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish0•9 hours agoCould still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.
minus-squareKairoslinkfedilinkEnglish3•9 hours agoNo. No way. A million a person would mean $325 ish TRILLION for just the US. I think that’s around half the global wealth?
minus-square@Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•23 minutes agoThe median income is supposedly around 64k, which already paints a different picture.
