Quantification:

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median usual weekly earnings for full-time workers in the US was $990 in the fourth quarter of 2021. This translates to an annual income of around $51,480.

Assuming a person works full-time for 40 years from age 25 to 65 and earns an average income of $51,480 per year, their total income throughout life would be around $2,059,200.

2% of $2,059,200 = $41,184
