The median household income was $87,460 in 2025, the highest, adjusted for inflation, since the bureau began tracking it in 1967.
HIGHEST
This also means HALF of households are making MORE than 87k
Wtf more do you people want? The US is rich as fuck.

>household
That typically means 2 people since cohabitants are the most common household type.
$87,460/2 = $43730 per person
That's almost poverty level.

Yes, but there’s one rent, dumbass

>>62702179

Don't worry, rents are rising faster than wages to compensate.

>>62702185
In 2025 the average household had 1.3 people working, meaning the majority of households rely on 1 income with only a minority having 2 people working.

Why does this website always have so many people trying to essentially deradicalize the population that notices how shitty everything has gotten over the last 5-25 years?

Inflation adjustment doesn't take into account the astronomical costs of groceries or higher education.

Grocery prices have nearly doubled in the last few years, and tuition prices have climbed at an unsustainable rate. You're either stupid or a liar.

Gaslighting is the only thing shills have left to defend the status quo.

>>62702179
Impressive... now compare it to cost of living increases.

>and tuition prices have climbed at an unsustainable rate

.You're stupid liar.

>>62704730
The status quo is your life is so easy you can afford to cry about imaginary problems for 14 hours per day. If your life was hard you would be out working to affird cheap bread

So these people only own one household? What does that mean for the class I meet daily that own between 3-20 homes? What about the ones that own 3-20 homes but have been out of work for decades(retired, essentially)?
What does that do to the typical average consumer(near-minimum wagers)

Dollars aren't real wealth. As soon as you earn it, the value is gone. Even your investments, converted to freedom currency are undercut. There is no winning.

>>62706034
Yes you are a loser and a failure because you have no $ . Every one else with $ is a winner

You can buy a whole chicken for $5. That's 5 chicken's for 1 hour of work . That will feed you for a week

Everyone in the economy is like "WE'RE GOING FULL-SPEED TOWARD A TREE, STOP STOP STOP STOP" and OP is sitting here like
>"Doomers are haters"
>"The fastest this car has driven was 90 MPH in 2025. The highest, adjusted for inflation, rate since cars had spedometers in 1967"
>"wtf more do you people want? To not hit the tree? This car is safe as fuck all statistics say so also I suck every dick on planet Earth"

Like he doesn't understand the concept of people worrying about the future.

I'm glad you brought up food as well: Fast food prices have outpaced wages since 2024 and have nearly increased by 50% the last two years. We're about to see almost every major food service joint that's not multinational evaporate, undoing 80 years of consumer culture around American food.
Before you say "Why do I care about food despite the fact I just brought it up??" service jobs at fast food joints is where most of our jobs moved to after we gave everything away to China. So once these burgerpocalypse happens, that's *it* for America's service economy. Even flipping burgers and bussing uber will start becoming a 10,000 applicants vs 1 job affair.
