The low annual income of the typical american worker is disturbing

[winb83]

How much do you make? I coulda swore you said that. You at 60k?

No 50K which is more than 70% of workers in the US.

You must work a ton of hours to make that and live in a city where a 1bdr is 470 a month

no I work a normal full time job. barely any overtime.

Yeah but you work a "normal job" paying you 50k. I'm assuming it's not a white colllar job. You work standard 7.5- 8hr days making 50k but pay 470 a month in rent? You must know someone.

That doesn't compute that you live in a city that can pay you 50k but only charge 470 a month in rent..

That shyt doesn't compute at all, B

Damn I'm in the top 15 oercent according to those stats

or we can look at why the cost of living is artificially high and work to bring it down...


























@ people still chasing the mirage of equality

The fear of deflation

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

I'm honestly more surprised that people don't know these numbers. I guess I'm used to seeing this since all of my clients are low income people.

I keep saying the same thing to myself. Questions like 'How can people live off $30k/yr.?' don't make sense to me.

I know families of 4+ where the average income is about $20k/yr. and I live in the wealthiest county in my state.

An EFFICIENCY apartment here will run about $600+/mo. to give you an idea.

Section 8 is NO joke, but the cost of living + inflation most definitely is.​

A family of 4 ain't making it on 20K a year. Not without major aid.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Thats ridiculous. I dont make shyt but i have no debt and am climbing to 10k. Im assuming student loans and credit card usage has contributed a lot to that stat...hard to believe.

People are just stupid, breh.
Cats out here spending $400 on gucci belts but don't have any food in the fridge.
I know bytches who spend $800 on a dress and shoes for a weekend trip to Vegas, but constantly borrow someone's car cause they don't have their own.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Just to re-iterate, this country is broke as fukk.

 

[Jhoon]

Its really was funny considering we live in Kansas, which has implemented similar policies and is now facing a 349 millon deficit.

It's coming. Or they can keep cutting. It will work itself out.

What a great time to switch to privatized social security.

Such a pro-Black position
