Where are you getting 37k ? First hit on google for usa median income is 59k https://amp.businessinsider.com/us-census-median-income-2017-9 https://amp.busines

  It depends exactly what you are measuring the income for. 59k is per household while the median per person 15 or older is about 31k[1]. Median wage for full-time workers is about 45k[2]. Not sure where they are getting 37k from. Maybe income per person for some narrower age range.

  got it from here. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4109731-united-states-income-brackets-percentiles-2017 https://seekingalpha.com/article/4109731-united-states-incom... Looked for income by percentile for individuals. The examples of waste above that "everyone" does, didnt seem to apply to families, more than individuals so I focused on that instead of household
