Which is a pretty low number when you stop to think about it. An national average gross salary of $33,000/year, is around 25,000 after taxes, in an environment where medical coverage is $400 a month and the average home runs $400,000. How does that add up? And, it doesn't even consider the mean salary which must be way lower; or, the even lower starting salaries, which is what our students will actually have in hand to pay off their accumulated college expenses. What does that leave for those mythical private retirement accounts?
