    Average because 1% own half the wealth, average has nothing to do with normal people. You need median. Many people don’t even make 5k per month before taxes.

      Those figures won’t be that far apart. It will somewhat, because higher incomes will have a bigger house and more luxurious car. However, they’re putting more of their money into investments, not cost of living.

      And I’ll reiterate, that’s the average for one person, not a family.
