interesting statistics on income. media trumps up rich people daily, you read about million dollar apts in NY in short supply, just seems like every other person is a millinaire. but how much do people really make, on average.

here's how much. median US household income in US is ~$50k. Average # of people/household is about ~2.63

through simple division we get: 50/2.63=$19k/annual.

So, average person in US makes $19k/yr, give or take. That is $1,580/month.
