--The average American gets divorced or has a kid(s) out of wedlock.
--The average American blows money on at least on of the following non-necessities: tattoos, piercings, cigarettes, recreational drugs, alcohol, $4 coffees.
With much of the above behavior passing for average, it's no wonder the average American is not doing well financially.
