It's tough because the snopes article moves between individual and household income amounts--which are two very different things. Kinda wish articles were written more clearly, and provided contextual data regarding how many households have multiple earners.
Yes. If you add up mine and all five of my roommates in our one bedroom apartment we make more than 35k lol
And yet you still complain. God damn millennials. Back in my day I worked hard and made 600 bajillion dollars just by moxie. You just need a nice suit and a firm handshake and you'll easily find a better job
EDIT: also, living with other people is communism
The landlord: and I took that personally
The rent: goes even higher for bullshit reasons
This has been driving me crazy. I try to compare the median income in the twin cities and it always provides the median household income. Why is it so difficult to find indivual median income for regions.
