Haha... income disparity my friend. As you correctly pointed out, 5.3k is the
median. The average should be higher.
My context is a graduate married couple in their early to mid 30s with decent progression, both should be at least in middle management or senior professional/executive. My gut feel is that these couples should comprise about 20% to 25% of the population.
At the typical lower end local companies: husband 5k wife 4k with AWS 13 * 9k => $117k.
At the typical higher end foreign MNCs/banks or local GLCs: husband 8k, wife 6k with AWS and 3 month bonus 16 * 14k => $224k.
Hee hee ... I'm starting to feel incredulous about these numbers I just worked out. But these are definitely possible given the salary levels I have been hearing about recently.
Now I know why housing prices are sky-rocketing.
