What is considered High Income?

Question

In the United States?

Oh and anther thing, how common is it to have one person in the family making 8 times (approximatly) more than the other? (ex. mom making 12,000, significant other 97,000, or vis versa)

Thanks =]]

Answer 1

100,000 and up is high income here in the USA

Answer 2

Average income for a family is 40.8K a year...but I would consider 100K and over high...50-100 above average

The second question:
Fairly normal, especially if your mom is a stay at home mom that works part time. There is nothing wrong with it, especially inside a marriage where everythign becomes OURS and there are not 90/10 splits due to income.

Answer 3

It all depends. To some people, 500,000 a year is low and to others it's high. The most I ever made was about 10,000 in one year and it wasn't much at all. So to me, anyone making over 20,000 a year (about 416 per week) is a lot.

Answer 4

According to Taxact (software I used to knock out my 2006 return) I'm in the top 20% of wage earners in the country this year. At a little over 60k / year, it sure doesn't feel like it though.

Answer 5

If you make over $100,000 a year, most people would consider that high because it is more than the average person makes. But in LA or NYC that would be considered average, so it depends where you are.

Answer 6

the top 20% in America in 2005 was >93k

Answer 7

Less than 10% of American families make more than $50,000 per year.

Answer 8

$25 million a year

Answer 9

People who has more money than they know what to do with, so they are able to save and invest with it to make even more, lol.

Answer 10

one of the CEO's at the top 10 jobs

1 million a YEAR
