Just scrolling through the screen shots...this is either bullshyt or you have to account for the possibility that 1) people are likely to exaggerate their salaries or 2) the people who earn more are also more likely to divulge their salaries and thus the average person is less likely to appear in the video.

The median household income in the country was 67,521 in the year 2020.

So you'd expect for most of these videos to have people stating their salaries around the 30-40k level.

Y’all live a good statistic that keeps you financially limited. That’s why capitalism be kicking ass, you’re letting statistics tell you what’s possible instead of figuring it out for yourself.

These white folk out here making a million dollars a day, but somehow a few people cant possibly gross over $100k?

Meanwhile with my next role I’m asking for $155k. It’s money out here!!! Get your mind and you on the right side of it.

You also have to factor in how the ppl making these higher end salaries are also more likely to volunteer their salaries for the world to see.

She is asking what people make in high cost areas so many of the people may not be cappin too much but would be nice to see her ask what people in other cities/towns make.

of course people would exaggerate if you are in camera, just like here on the coli where everyone makes 100k

but some seem legit like the first video guy said he makes 35-40k and the chick says she makes 50k, I noticed in the video most black folks were honest with what they are making in terms of the jobs they have

Many of these folks like to repeat the household income statistics because it makes them feel comfortable about what they are doing and where they are in life.
