Why are American men so rich?

Question

I read in an article that most American men earn $50,000 a month. Is this true?

Jerre · Accepted Answer

Probably true to a certain point. I would hesitate to say “most” men though.

Amur8711 · Accepted Answer

Thats not rich, more than just getting buy but no where close to rich.

MzAsh · Answer

50k is actually pretty poor compared to the cost of living.

BluegrassBill · Answer

Well, y'all might be wonderin', why them American men,
Got pockets full of gold, like they just mined a mountain again.
It's the land of opportunity, where dreams do come true,
Workin' hard, huntin', fishin', and makin' money too.

American men are rich, not just in dollars and cents,
But in courage, pride, and a heritage that never ends.
From the cotton fields to the oil rigs in the night,
We're built on freedom, and we'll defend it with all our might.

Down here in the South, we know a thing or two,
About makin' a livin', even when the times are few
Now I ain't no racist nor am I jerk
But nary a thing wrong with black men doing work.

It's as easy as fishin'.  If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician If you could make sounds loud or mellow Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far If you get in with the right bunch of fellows People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun Tell them that you like it this way It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed We love to work at nothing all day

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Did you mean to say 50K per YEAR? Extremely few people make 50K per MONTH.

The average per year in the US is about 60-65K per YEAR. But that really doesn't mean much unless you consider the cost of living.

lightbulb27 · Answer

might be true but that is not much anymore in America. that is surviving.

In USA, you get an opportunity, work hard, you can do well. So many have done extremely well. It helps to have support but some came here with nothing, alone and made it. Much better if have family for support, know people, exchange student, etc.

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

yeah, but the cost of living is 60k. There's many different 'wealth zones' from poor to exquisite but at the end of the day, if you aren't in the top 10%, then you live a life of debt and servitude. 'Murica.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Thats the median income. But you also have to consider how high living expenses in the US are. So there isn't much left after paying for all these.

Dargil · Answer

Most American men earn $50,000 a month.

exitseven · Answer

A lot of American men work very hard in a system where often hard work is rewarded. In America people do not ordinarily get a months vacation and all the holy days off from work.

Darklydarkened · Answer

Who the fuck in US earns 50k a month?  What sort of a Californian bubble your source lives in?

LeatherDame · Answer

Not even close to true, $54,000 is the median ANNUAL salary for Americans, not monthly. They make on average a bit under $5000 a month.

oldpigg · Answer

My brother is a clinical oncologist and earns that much, however right now he doesn't have much money because he bought a Bugatti Chiron and is paying for it on credit.

kellytheman · Answer

Well America is the land of opportunity and every man that are a hard worker or had a great education they can get a profession that could pay that much but it might take them 20 to 30 years to start making the much in a month.

dudeinohio · Answer

$50k a year is not rich. I make close to that amount and am certainly not rich.

RingOfFire · Answer

*I read in an article that most American men earn $50,000 a month. Is this true?" No, it's false. Less than 1% of American men earn this much.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Oh that's just entry level stuff. Most men are closer to $80K a month

Anonymous · Answer

Less than 1% of Americans earn that much a month. Most Americans earn that much a year or more thou.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

That’s not rich lol. That’s just a living wage in today’s world

ProbablyClueless · Answer

$50,000 PER MONTH? That is definitely not true.

Anonymous · Answer

That article is bullshit. The percentage of men in America who earn $50,000 per month, which equates to $600,000 per year, is a tiny fraction of 1%.

jamesgoldman · Answer

Most don't  I know someone who makes that in 2 weeks and someone making that weekly

Hellraiser1984 · Answer

F no. The average salary is around $50,000 a year before taxes.

Anonymous · Answer

$50K is nowhere close to rich! I make well over $100K and can’t consider myself rich at all.

onedarkcloud · Answer

You mean 50k a year because 50k a month is half a million dollars yearly.

In_Trance · Answer

I don't know where you found that article, but it's definitely bullshit

$50,000 is about the median income for the year; not the month.
