One thing I have noticed that locally grown and produced grocery products is starting to get cheaper than even wal mart.

country eggs I can get for $2 a dozen all day long(also no sales tax either most times)wal-mart has their eggs priced at $2.30 ish a dozen add taxes that is $2.50 ish

milk at braums is $3 at walmart its $3.37, why? braums has their dairy a 180 miles away, plus its a better milk non hormone all natural moo juice.

Yeah the median figure is more fitting for "the average American household".


Although if you wanted average to mean "most typical" you'd have to go significantly lower than 49k. Even though there is really no typical income.

This doesn't take location into account either...

There are people in Indiana who live very well on 40-50k a year.

That's practically McDonalds wages in NYC.

Average household income includes the 1% in it's figures, thus people like Romney skew the figures much higher than what most people actually make....as he makes 10,000 times what the majority of people take in.

Median household income is around 31K a year. That is, half of all household make more, half make less.

That's two people each making 15K a year or so, not 30K a year.

Pretty grim when you look at it. Also much more accurate than an average that gives the same weight to a tiny fraction of households that make thousands of times what the other 99% make.

You don't seem to know how averages and medians work. The average and median tells you nothing about how many "rich people" there are unless you define rich as the top 50%. I'm also not sure that you realize "too many" is an opinion and not a statistical conclusion...
