TIL average household income of ~82K, about ~41k per parent, is "rich"

Agreed, that's a bit "rich" :p

However, we mustn't forget that there are families living on 41K combined (two parents @minimum). Or 20K (single mom @minimum).

80K is far from rich. But quite comfortable compared to many, many, Americans.
