Black Family here I make 120k as Captain for MCOL city + military retirement pension of $2.8k a month. Wife works in medicine +138k in a LCOL. We live better than most. Cheap healthcare, 4 vacations a year, 6 rental properties, drive economy friendly Japanese cars, and a retired mother in law that cooks, clean, and watches the kids.

Would be interesting to see this broken down by state v/s cost of living in each state

I’m in the pipe trades and have been making $150,000 to $200,000 a year for 20 years. I remember a girlfriends father telling me that I would never make any money because I didn’t have a college education. Well that relationship didn’t workout and I now realized just how stupid he was. Find a trade become excellent in it then work hard. Don’t listen to the negativity of jealous haters. That think they know everything. They are dogmatic in their beliefs and can sound convincing even when they are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize it’s within your reach. Don’t waste time or money put it to work for you and you will be truly free.

Averages are good for describing a country's wealth. But median is a better picture for describing how much people typically make.

I live in America and I make $33k a year & I'm full time I don't know how i'm surviving but I am

There's some older adults make less than 40k a year working full time. California . Not all make 57,200

The median is actually closer to 31k a year; which is pathetic.

Good run down. Geography plays a major part too. The cost of living in different places makes the salary scale different. It usually costs more to live in a larger city than in a small town and more in coastal states than in the middle of the country. I know I moved from a small town in west Texas to San Diego, California for a job making approximately the same amount of dollars per year. What was a pretty decent living in one place was broke in the other place due to the difference in cost of living.

I live in Central Indiana and 42 and I am self employed my fiancee and I were messing around to see what I could possibly make if I were to close my business. I applied for 18 jobs in skill trades, amazon, local energy providers, communications, and logistics companies.I had 3 offers for just at $20, 9 offers for between $15-$20, and 3 for under $15. 3 didn't respond to my resume. I also don't know many people that make over $1000 per week. Alot more people making well under $1000 per week than over. Maybe indiana is lagging behind the curve but after looking at tesla, ford, general motors, Amazon's wages online im calling bull $hit on 56k per year is average for an Americans annual income.

B.O.L is padding those numbers. The state you live in makes a huge difference

Service worker stats are also skewed. This data is reported income. Many service workers do not report all of their tips. And tips are a very large portion of their income. Any unreported tips is also tax free.

I make $1,000 per week after taxes and I'm 41 and single divorce two kids barely scraping by I have about $800 a month of credit card debt and student loan debt because of an entrepreneurial pursuit. My rent is $1,600. My car is paid off. And 55,000 net for a single dad is not very much money. And I have a white collar job.

41 year old man here making $85,000 salary in New Mexico USA. If I add my rental property income, I make $102,000. If I lived in California or NYC, that would be poverty 😆

Great info as always!

I think mode would be most representative because it’s the salary with the highest number of occurrence.

Really enjoyed this video!! Great idea. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ✌🏻🤟🏻👊🏻

So you are saying the median wage is $27.50. Who gets paid that?

It's higher than I thought. 50% of the population on near 60k or higher. That's good.

1200 a week pre tax , 24 y/o transportation specialist for dollar general. Remote job been working for 6 weeks

And to all the people that just go on about pride about their country, I'm just trying to state the true facts. America is awesome. I love it there.

Woohoo! Top 10% here with no college education! Thank you good ol' blue collar work ethic.

Stop thinking in terms of income. It is net worth you should be focused on.

One year of my life is worth more than all those numbers combined times the power of infinity.

Please make a video on what credit cards to apply for when making low income ($40,000). Thank You.

It's not what you make it's what you invest. I make more on my rental income than my teaching career

I'm at $170k at 33... YES!! I am the greatest of all time! Lol

Great content as always, thanks Adam!!!

Is this after or before taxes

I’m 27 at $120k+ with no formal college education. I’m a HVAC tech with 5 years of vocational training including on the job training full time for those 5 years.

Very interesting video

my wife and i are 28, 31 and we earn a combined salary of $96625 USD which may not be a lot in America but in Canada its a good income

Remember 10k is closer to 57k than let’s say 2-5 mil. That’s why average is a lot more than someone would think. I think 40k is probably it if there wasn’t so many people that are making millions a year.

Thanks Adam, I like your channel. At about 1:42 into you video you noted how the incomes appear to have increased by 25% in the last five years. I suspect there are a few driving factors for this. Modest salary increases in part accelerated by inflation, but maybe more importantly lower paid jobs saw high losses during COVID and folks decided not to return to them later. So, if fewer people are working in low paying jobs, then it drives the income numbers up on paper (as opposed to everyone is making more money) . I wonder to what extent previously low paid workers from 5 years ago found higher paid jobs vs just left the workforce altogether?

All of these figures are way off..I’m in a trade with a HSD making 250k a year, that’s working hard and long hours but if you want it you need to work for it. So I’m about to retire and making 10k a month with a pension. So it was all worth it.

Not to mention state location and race ethnicity average medians...

At Cigna after Five years I make $43,000 year. Not enough to live off of these days

Teachers often make a lot of money if you take into account medical, dental, pension, vacation, time off and elective mefical. holiday pay.

Really interesting thank you

I'm a cop and my wife is a teacher and we grossed close to 200k. Just gotta be willing to sacrifice time for money

Making 30k as an engineeer in Spain and I'm being lucky.

So my 65300 annual salary is average.

Then why didn't you tell us the median salary then??

Yeah, doing this across all states is a little useless. $100K is barely survivable as a single person in Manhattan and $60K in Des Moines, IA is practically upper middle class.

I've been in the bottom and can't imagine going back to that today. I know I did it, but I couldn't imagine living on $65k a year for the household.

There’s no way I could survive on any of those averages. The cost of living where I am is extremely high.

I made 142 last year. Still feel like it isnt enough

What kind of jobs pays 57,000 a year I never even heard of a job that pays that much unless you have a college degree

In Europa I earn 1200 euro neto in month, so 15 000 euro in year. I save half of my incom.

That’s gross I imagine. Government takes a chunk.

Right now in Los Angeles California family of 4 you need minimum 10k a month to survive everything it’s so expensive right now 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Funny fed min wage is still $7.50

Hope you (and family) have a great day Mr. Jusko.

I make $100,000 a year and I am 28 years old and I am in the IT Field, I feel like I make less than the average 28 year old working in IT, correct me if I am wrong.

Glad to know I'm on track with years ago for average income. :(

I’m 24 and only make between 20 to 24K

Bruh that’s more than in Europe 💀

How can people live out here

The data seems off. I’m a 28-y.o Asian make making $48,000 a year.

Bottom-line, we are all slaves to the Beast system. The only way out is Yashua.

Im 42 man. 90k in New Mexico USA. My family in California are like thats not much. I understand why when comparing the cost of living by location. Californians need a salary of $220k to live a comparable lifestyle in NM 😮

Indeed Asian am I ...making decent income yearly ...muaah 🥰

I im blessed to be in the top 10% I thought 141k would’ve been an average salary I guess not

Median salary in australia is much better than america, in USD

The increase over five gears is 33% not 25%

I make $103K and I’m retired 💰

But you dont get govt benefits unless you make less than 20k,

I’m 57 years old, and I made 100k in 2022, so this puts me in the poverty level.

I'm the bottom 25% and I've been stuck there since i was 18 and i hate it.

I make $125,000 here in San Diego, California (excluding bonus), working in management. Male, 35 years old, single. Masters Degree, White Asian lol.

I was just curious loooking this up because someone put a post that Ohio makes more than the average Canadian. that's not true obviously but not that's a big deal .I mean there's so many other things to look at. but you can't even pick on our higher taxes because anyone that makes under the average income here a year which is around 60,000 70,000 does not pay taxes or not much taxes because you're lower-income .but I do agree with the American system where people on welfare do not make as much as people that work. it's not fair for people that work to make as much as sitting on their ass at home. But it's a hobby of mine to look up living standards from all over the world. and Americans work longer week and have less paid holidays than any other free Rich developed country in the world. The average American should be demanding that their politicians fixed at because you're all I hear an American Media is that they're the richest country in the world they're only the richest because you have a population of 330 million.

Is $230,000 a year a good salary in the US ?

factssss

I wish

I make 74 million dollars every second - Beetlejuice

if yall just labeled shit with "mean" instead of "average" you could have cut the time of this video in half

Just realized I’m poor considering I’m an Asian male 😢

Am I in the game? No. I am out of the game.

Dear Bureau of Labor Statistics, Please don't age me in years. Please indicate my existence indicated in nanoseconds then combine that with a 2 cent wage per such measurement for adding my two cents. You are part of why I experience such existential crisis. Sincerely, Guy Incognito
