SHOW NOTES: In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not (i.e., they are a myth, fallacy or even a lie). The target for this episode is, “Only 6% of all individuals in the US earn $100,000 USD a year!? Really?” (Really.)
The six-figure income threshold. It is bandied about in popular
culture and media. It represents a demarcation of “success” (or
does it?). How
many people actually earn six-figure individual income per year in
the US?
Why does this matter?
Well, if the majority of people in the US earn $100,000 or more and
you earn $30,000 you are far below average. With accurate data you
may better understand how much you would need to increase your
individual annual income to equal what the average individual
earns. On the other hand, if you earn $100,000 or more and you feel
like you “don’t have enough money” that may be accurate if the
reality is that the majority of people earn $300,000 a year (you
feel broke because you earn substantially less than the average
individual). The
data will then help us understand our financial
choices.
Are we average/middle class and therefore should be able to have
average items? Or, are we far below average/ poor and thus are not
able to afford average items? Or, are we far above average/ rich
and thus are able to afford average items and a bit
extra?
How many individuals earn
$100,000 USD per year? [...]
