We’d all love to be cashing in million dollar paychecks, but unless you’re in the latest Marvel movie or just sold a groundbreaking start-up, that’s probably not going to happen. But don’t feel bad, most Americans are just as poor as you!
According to Business Insider, these are the median incomes for full-time, year-round workers at each age. Expectedly, income increases with age, with 18-year-olds making an average of $18,000 and 70-year-olds earning approximately $67,000 a year.
Here’s a closer look at the medians for each age to really compare yourself to your fellow Americans. Depending on whether your salary was high or low for your age, you’re either feeling quite accomplished right now or angry at your lack of money for things like breakfast tacos and booze.
If you’re young and poor you should probably be sporting the BUY ME BRUNCH TEE, because everyone knows you’ll never get free brunch if you don’t demand it at gunpoint, right? Put your mission on a t-shirt. Make it simple.
