Interestingly, that same CNBC report finds that households that earn less than $50,000 a year typically fall under that first category, less than $500 in checking. Those earning up to $75,000 have less than $5,000 in checking, while those households earning more than $200,000 have at least $10,000 in checking.

How is that interesting?! “Oh, hey, look at this! The people who make the least have the least in checking, while those who make the most have more!” wtf kind of revelation is that?
