How many Americans make under $100,000 a year?

Wow, you know, it's crazy how many Americans make less than $100,000 a year. Seriously, it's a LOT. You look at those brackets – like $35,000 to $99,000 – and think, "Okay, that's a decent range," right? But when you combine them and see it's… what was it… over 38% of households under $100k?! It’s kind of a mind-blower. I mean, where does everyone live? Rent is insane these days! My cousin, Sarah, she’s a teacher, and her husband works in… I think it’s something with logistics? Anyway, they’re both working, and they’re still well under that $100k mark. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Like, what kind of life can you really build these days? I saw somewhere that most of the population in 2023 was somewhere in that lower to middle income range, which, let’s be honest, isn't exactly rolling in dough. It’s tough out there!
