The average seems high for a month
average household income is $101k per year?
That's a lot of money!

All figures listed are averages and do not account for variances between states with significantly different costs of living.Additionally this chart breaks down the average pre-tax household income by month. And averages can be skewed by ultra-wealthy outliers in the country with significantly larger expenses.For context, median household income for that same year stood at $80,610, about $20,000 lower than the average.

That's still a lot of money man.

these averages are not interesting because they don't tell us anything valuable
something more useful would be average or median retirement savings by age 59.5
average or median wealth or net worth
