Grandpa who bought his house for a year’s salary: “Just work harder and you can buy a house like me.”

@MyLordBebo Not even close. First of all, the average salary in the US as of 2025 was $63K. If you remove top 1% of earners or the 1.8 million individuals making an average of $950K the average salary for the rest of the 99% of working Americans barely crosses $40K. That’s just the reality

@RefkoSak @MyLordBebo Your girl-maths does not add up. Yo uimply 1% earn 15%, which mean the average for teh remainder will be no more than 15% lower than the 63k, so over $53k, not 40.

@GordonBrown001 @MyLordBebo Actually it does. Its not 15 but almost 23% of all wages in 2025. Did you count half of all stuck/mutual fund assets the top 1% collected in 2025 and those are ballpark figures. If we use exact calculation I’m afraid the 99 percenters will not cross even $40K
