That’s a pretty uninformed thing to say. Of course $50,000 isn’t “quit your job, buy a house, live in luxury” money. But that is more than a McDonalds worker makes in two years in PA. You really don’t think someone receiving a payment of more than _two years_ worth their annual salary will have their life changed for the better? Maybe now they don’t have to worry every single month about having enough to cover rent or necessities. The average yearly salary for the entire US population is around $59,000 so if you make so much that $50,000 will mean nothing to you, congrats you are one of a _very_ small percentage but most Americans are not in the same boat as you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-if-you-worked-at-mcdonalds-would-you-recognize-the-assassin/1011441)._
