It's tough because the snopes article moves between individual and household income amounts--which are two very different things. Kinda wish articles were written more clearly, and provided contextual data regarding how many households have multiple earners.
Yes. If you add up mine and all five of my roommates in our one bedroom apartment we make more than 35k lol
