Lot's of what we (most other first world countries) take for granted is not present in the US.
Health care insurance for example can eat a good chunk of that 3.6kUSD: the average cost of individual health insurance premiums is $440 for an individual and &1,168 for a family, in 2018 according to eHealth [1]

- kwhitefoot 6y ago> and &1,168 for a family Ouch! That makes health insurance behave like a very regressive tax. In contrast in Germany where they have compulsory insurance it is only 7.6% to 15% of your salary, so something between USD 273 and USD 540 for a family.
