Well, the average income for a single/individual earner in New York is $45,000-$50,000(Age 25+)
How much does the typical American family make? This question is probably one of the most central in figuring out how we can go about fixing our current economic malaise. After all, we don’t hear many people saying in today’s world that they have too much money.
The median household income in the United States is $46,326. Here in California people have a hard time understanding that yes, 50 percent of our population live on $46,000 or less a year. Even today, all the elixirs and remedies being thrown around fail to focus on income and the big brother of income, solid employment. Dual earner households have a higher median income at $67,348.
So I'm guessing INDIVIDUAL/SINGLE earners in the US averages out to around $30,000?
As long as you AIM to be ABOVE the average number then you'll be successful and doing better than the average person!
But at the end of the day, it's not about how much money you make, it's about how you maintain it.
It's not what you make, it's what you spend. If you spend more than you make, you're going to go backwards financially. On the other hand, if you spend less than you earn, you're on the path to becoming wealthy.
