I assure you, I have NO idea!
Jesus. Have you tried rooting around your couch for loose change? Maybe steal a hobo’s bindle? That’s got to be worth a couple of percent!
Top 31% nationally, 42% locally. DINK, though…
It’s because we’re so short! 
Top 15% nationally, top 10% for the nearest local metro area, top 6% outside metro area.
Top 1% nationally, top 2% locally (Chicago-Gary, which is a weird-ass way to construct a region, but whatever).
Wife and I are both attorneys.
This is true. Yes, my wife and I have a very comfortable income, but we also chose not to have children, which certainly impacted our desire and ability to extend our academic pursuits well into our 20s and achieve advanced degrees, as well as to spend more time focusing on nurturing our careers. So it was somewhat of a tradeoff. Like you said: choices.
We are in the top 15% percent, according to US standards.
My boyfriend and I both teach English in Korea. I just inputted our combined income in USD without adjusting for anything in particular.
I’m stunned. I comfortably work part time at a fairly cushy job (though don’t have healthcare despite working in a hospital [?]) I make enough to pay the rent ($875/month for an about 800 sq/foot apt) and have enough leftover to travel, eat out, and sustain a drinking problem. This while adding to both savings and a retirement account. (Though to be fair, I could only be able to be retired a couple years before having to off myself.)
In my region I’m 24%.
If I were married, and my husband made about the same as me, I’d be in the top 21%
Dang, I don’t need a better job, I need a husband! 
17%. Unfortunately, I do live in San Francisco, where I fall to the mid-thirties.
If I were still married and living in Napa county, we’d be top 4%, though. sigh
Top 2% both nationally and locally.
Husband owns a business that has grown from 6 partners to almost 100 employees in the last six years. I am an attorney, but my government worker salary is a drop in the bucket–I work for benefits and pension, mainly. And the fact that I love my job.
I think you can get them at WalMart 
Its kind of stunning though, isn’t it. The difference two incomes tends to make. Particularly when you start thinking in terms of “professional” incomes. There was a reason DINKs was a target demographic.
Top 4% if we go back to Reno on present salary…but when we go back to Reno/Carson City we’ll be unemployed:)
shouldn’t the household income be divided by the number of people in the household?
top 25 %, in Tennessee, Registered Nurse
I dunno, the OP just said household percentage.
It seems that most of the top percentage folks are in professions that require a degree of some sort (that was the main reason for my question of what people do). Not to hijack, but it would be interesting to see what people’s percentages were if they were on their own.
I suspect that, due to their education, it wouldn’t be too different than what they are now, since I’m guessing that like educated and employed people are more likely to be married to each other.
I am on my own. one person, one income. If my ex was still around I’d be in the top 6% for Tennessee, top 16% for US.
But they don’t take household size into account. We make $82,000 a year. This would be wealthy for a single person, comfortable for a couple, but trying to raise 6 on it gets difficult.
Excellent point.
Top 39% locally, bottom 43% for the US as a whole. Woo hoo rural Mississippi.
