The American median household income is $70k but $40k after taxes.
>>60996358Median household income is $84k per FRED. Assuming single filer, your effective federal tax rate is 20% at that income so it is unlikely that your after-tax is only $40k, even if you're unmarried.
>>60996368Excise tax, sales tax, property tax, utility tax, vehicle tax
>>60996368Different places show different number. From 70k to $110k. It is $70k but $85k, sure. It is hella low. Most Americans are poverty tier. Should the retirement age be moved to 70?
Americans are extremely poorAfter taxes Europeans actually earn MOREalso Europeans pay less for tech, energy, cars,...
Everyone is so jealous of America they have to keep fabricating cope. Sad!
>>60996452literally no one is jealous of your poor obese third world brown shithole where people get shot all the timekys
>>60996436Lmao Americans aren’t going to like this one
>>60996459We don't even think about you. Is it possible for you to stop thinking about us for 1 day?
>>60996358Im a european but im not a seething jealous faggot. America is number one for a reason.
>>60996466>We don't even think about youhalf of your population wishes every day they lived in Europe with free healthcare, walkable cities and public transportation and the other half is secretely jealous of us
>>60996474kys traitormove to the great satan if you love being shot so much
>>60996475No one cares about your healthcare. USA is number one objectively. Even alien wouldnt know what the fuck europe is, its so irrelevant.
>>60996436>Europeans pay less for energyLmao. You pay more in taxes on energy than what pay for energy
>>60996479number one in what?wealth inequality in the developed world?violent crime?
>>60996479Europe is irrelevant and no growth.
minus $20k for housing expenses, $8,000 in transportation, and the rest on food its no wonder nobody is having kids.
>>60996358Six figure hell here, don't remind me.$100k nets about $60k after all deductions
>>60996489literally only true for france and germany because they're retardedthe rest of Europe is doing extremely well
>>60996484Number one in being important
>>60996505what's the point of being le relevant when your people live in abject poverty?
>>60996509You sound like north korea trying desperately to be the main character. We numba one saaaars!!!! Its okay to admit youre a shittier version of someone. But to answer youre question why its important to be relevant...you dictate global culture, and thats already a huge branch.
>>60996543why is that important?Europeans live far better lives than mutts and they're supposedly "irrelevant"
>>60996495How? I make $120k in a state with 6% tax rate and my taxes + benefit payments total $30k. Standard deduction, single-filer. How much are you contributing to your 401k?
>>60996555Americans live just fine, what a retarded argument. Oh wow they have problems? Shocker. Everyone has. If you like cherry picking then i can cherry pick that france looks like somalia, only the architecture remains of the glory days. When europe was popping im the 1700s i'd objectively say europe is superior.
>>60996436>also Europeans pay less for tech, energy, cars,...This is bait.
>>60996570>Oh wow they have problems? Shocker.Yeah everyone has problems, europeans might miss their train because their previous train was late while americans get shot in their own streets all the time, totally comparable lmaoAmerica is basically Somalia with money
>>60996570The high earning americans live fine as long as they stay in their suburbs and gated communities. Everyone else lives in highly violent thirdworld places full of homeless (compared to europe). Even Paris is still like 70% white and the blacks there are civil compared to american blacks and were employed. I visited Paris in may and it had improved a lot, very clean, easily the most beautiful city i have ever seen, more beautiful than Miami.
>>60996358>$40klol borderline 3rd world shithole
>>60996478Dude we don't all live in nigger cities.
>>60996580>>60996616Nice samefagging you got there bozo
>>60996624dont bother, i've seen this kind of euro seething many times. its a severe case of jealousy. usually when someone is truly superior they dont care or give much thought to people bellow them.
>>60996580Nobody but women are jealous of the European lifestyleThere’s no upward movement for a competitive, driven man in Europe.
>>60996358NIGGERs
>>60996658Europe has goverments, companies, an unlimited amount of white women ect. where competitive, driven men can gain social status. I think most of WEF is europeans. Wishing to just retire early is not drive.
>>60996436We pay more for energy and consumables but yes it's true our income is more than just our monthly payFor instance in my country we have 22 paid vacation days a year + we get 2 more salaries each year (effectively we earn 14 months a year)This is not disclosed in our monthly salary but in the end we earn more
>>60996769I always see euro-cope about muh 20 vacation days. My company gives me 30 vacation days per year and I make twice the average household income in salary with a +20% bonus on top. You should try becoming a pharma exec, it's a pretty sweet gig. Only part that sucks is dealing with the legions of jeets that have no fucking clue what they're doing.
>>60996436> After taxes Europeans actually earn MOREBait has to be believable
>>60996495Unless you’re deferring a lot to a 401k and maxing a HSA, there’s no fucking way. Those are good choices if you are, but hugely important context.
Notice the seething thirdie doesn’t say where he lives
>>60996358Europoor. 49k before, 35k after. Will get a pension too.
>>60997531And health insurance included. 14 pays. 25 days vacation.
>>60996358Now give me the median white household
>>60996358I live in south america and get paid US$35k/yr net. not sure what's my actual tax rate by since I don't consoom much and don't rent I save most of my income...
>>60996769I get paid 5 weeks vacation. Nice try Yuropoors. Sucks to be you
>>60997329In europe everyone has those bonuses, in USA it’s just the elite.
>>60996358How can anybody look at themselves if they earn less than 300k yr or have NW under 2m.Like europoors or USAs, fuck it I'm a bong and I'm ashamed of it despite my 2m nw+.
>make $80k>max 401(k), HSA, Roth (although Roth doesn’t count)>total taxable income is $12k, or 15%Ggwp
>>60996716>Europe has governmentsDefinitely not disagreeing there LOL
>>60996436That is the most false statement. Money-wise? Absolutely not. Not even close. The median European *does* live a bit “better” than the median American with stuff beyond money, but anything more than the median and we blow you out of the water, and it’s not even close.
>>60997934If you’re mediocre, live in Europe. If you’re among the best, you live here. It’s why Europe has no valuable company created in the last half century beyond Spotify. Your continent is a dusty museum full of Muslims.
>>60998068Saar let me in I are best.
What do Americans even do with all their money? Blow it up in casinos when they turn 60 or travel to cheap-ass thirdie shitholes and fuck children and ladyboys?
>>60998309Spend it on Israel.
>>60997964Because just 2m means you are living with the poors and lower class in usa.
>>60998068lolyur entire shithole takes Ozempicguess wher that comes formyou retarded mexican nigger
>>60999454So europoor, got it
>>60998309Send it to Israel
>>60996358I’m really glad trump’s taxes made things more affordable for the middle and lower class…oh wait they made things worse lol
>>60999513kekIt literally gets worse and worse each day for everyone under the upper classNow they cant even buy cheap furniture. LMAO
>>60996358>sexism in 2025did you know women work too, right?besides, sources of your statement?
>>60996358
>>60999572What?
>>60996475>walkable citiesLiteral cult speak
>>60996475I am European but come on, USA objectively has a better healthcare
>>60996459>Poor obese third world brown shithole where people get shot all the time>Richest nation on the planet>Huge traditions in sporting and pugilism that span 200 years>The literal definition of first world>The browns aren't American but foreign invaders>Europeans so jealous of our standards of living that they bitch about it daily>The only ones who get shot here aren't people (Read: Blacks and invaders)Is this the new HRE Meme? 'Not holy, not roman, and not an empire'? We list off a bunch of things that Euros hate about America and it turns out the functional opposite of every single one of them is true?
>>60996479Europe is the center of the world u fat piece of bacon
>>61000194Was. Was the center of the world. That was before Germany, France and the UK, the forerunners for Europe, all decided to enter into a mutual suicide pact and ship off that role to America for the next 200 years.
>>60996358You can directly judge how poorly America is doing based on the fragility of Americans online. It doesn't matter what the topic is from economic prosperity to public safety and Hollywood movies, if you suggest that America is doing poorly Americans will lose their fucking minds.You honestly start to sound like the meme of Indians raging over being a superpower by 2020.Pretending that everything is going great when it's actually going to shit as a way to save face is definitively brown behaviour.
>>60996543LMAO! Textbook case in point.
>>60999454Oh, you mean the thing that Eli Lilly and others have now developed better and now Novo Nordisk is tanking.
>>61000194China is.
>>60999513Care to explain with math how lowering taxes rates across the board, doubling the standard deduction, and doubling the child tax credit were bad for the middle and lower class?
>>60996358And after rent and living expenses they are lucky to save 20k a year. Imagine working full time to only see your bank account grow 20k a year. Fkn brutal
>>60996358>>60996436Many mutts are constantly on fentanyl or meth. Sixty year old pot heads and meth heads. 50 million on welfare half of which are whites. Fucking trash everywhere. I think illegal immigrants are the least of their problems lol.
>>61000641Majority of Americans don't have any savings.
>>61000641Majority of people are just working and living pay to pay off debt lmaoMost people just live to work lol
