Income and expenses

The median income is supposedly 54K a year. How is that so?
Do half the people really make more than that?
Do half the people really make less than that?

From my perspective it seems like more people make less than that.
Although I know a few individuals making near that, I find that many people with a bachelors degree are not making more than 30K.

I am completely confused on this.

I know money isn't everything, but it is very important.
It is difficult to find shelter, food, and medical care without quite a bit of money.


Well, food is fairly easy to come by right now, although quality food is a little more difficult to find.

What does it matter when God is your source?
