Literally this.

Median household income in America is US$8,000 per month.

Half of Americans make MORE than that.

No, half of American households make more than that, and a typical household has 2.5 people.

And 2.5 Americans per household will say “they make more than that”

Kids say “my dad is rich” and wives say “we make $70k/month”

Americans also have record levels of debit so a lot of that money is going to pay off credit cards and payday loans.
Well, the question is more like why everyone sell a phone for equivalent of lunch money in US. No one makes a phone at local equivalents of $45, nevertheless it happens and seem to drive some Americans crazy.
