    It’s worse than the headline says. The study set 71k as the average US income for a single person…

    Which is the official household number. The actual single income average is 50-60k.

      This still seems high to me, damn. In my town average household income is 30k lol. Even surrounding “nice” towns aren’t that much higher

      I guess there’s places where people must make so much money

        Oh that’s the fun part. Everyone discusses mean and median. Mode is in the 35-40 range last I tracked it down. (it wasn’t easy to find and I have my theories about why)
