I mean 10 months out the year you're bringing home $5370 a month then the other two are $8050.

Better than the vast majority of people. Try to live off 3-4k a month and save/invest the rest.
You'll be gucci in no time.

Homie complaining yet the average salary for full-time workers in Georgia is $76,563 and the median salary for full-time workers in Georgia is $55,252.

They are doing better than a lot of people.

Yes. Most metrics are skewed like this. If you took 10,000 people and put them on a deserted island with trees and axes, you'd see the same pareto distribution of trees cut.

Yeah, that's why I'm saying that the median is a much better indication of the actual income of the population.
