[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make 150k as a single and it can feel daunting to read these threads and people boasting of much higher incomes. Then I remind myself 150k as a single is effectively the equivalent of a 300k HHI for a couple, so that starts feeling a bit more understandable. However, the other thing to keep in mind is that the UMC is very, very wealthy these days. The top 1% earner income (NOT HHI, but individual income) nationally is $819k. To be in the top 5% of earners nationally is $335k. And that's nationally, with higher numbers in expensive markets like DC. My 150k isn't even in the top 10% nationally either, but in the teens. Then it starts making sense why we see so many high incomes and high HHIs on this forum. There's a lot of high earners out there. I now need to figure out why I'm not making 250k, LOL. [/quote] Those numbers seem high for national statistics. Everywhere I can find the top 1% income for individuals nationally is in the 400’s[/quote]
