> The average person:
Has a salary of $49k
Doesn’t have enough in emergency savings —19% of Americans have $0 and 31% have less than $500 saved
Spends 56% on their food budget
Has over $5,700 in credit card debt with a 17.89% interest rate
Has only $150k in savings by retirement
Relies on Social Security to fund most of their retirement Even in a high tax state, a single taxpayer with a 49K salary takes home about $40K. So you're telling me that this taxpayer spends $22.4K on food? That's $61 / day! Also, the median net worth in the US is about $120K, but this guy is telling us that 50% of Americans only have $500 in savings? What a load of bullshit! |
