Agree they list the rule - but like a mean vs median thing, are crazy cities like NYC or LA skewing the average?
We make about half the bottom-right picture, but I AM at about the 50/30/20 balance. Yes, worthless anecdote, but still makes $240k seem a tad high for a median.
I’ll have to take a look at my spending and see where my splits really are. To the spreadsheet!

It does seem to feature estimates regarding the average rather than median, so you’re right. Higher CoL areas would drive that way up.
Plus, upon further review, I realized the study only involved the top 100 most populated cities. That would for sure skew the number upward as well.
