That median household income doesn’t go very far these days. It’s only manageable for many because they get support from family/friends or have a big chunk of unreported income that doesn’t meet the statistics. I’m looking at changing careers and the idea of our household income dropping to only a little above that median is scary as hell. An increase of 10% of 10% of one’s budget doesn’t sound crazy on its own, but when lots of other costs are going up too good might be one of the highest $ value changes compared to things like fuel or individual utility costs.
