The only thing that COULD make sense is that OP is referencing household income and the article is reporting average American. I could see some mental gymnastics to get a household average of 101915 with some data points that are missing when the average household consists of 90% 2 adults. But yea, you are correct I didn’t see the $101,915 mentioned either.
How is that possible when mortgages and student loan debt is factored in? Also I wonder why they excluded medical debt. Maybe they consider these things more “voluntary”

There are tons of people who have neither a mortgage nor student loans, which certainly mitigates the average
