Let's take salary/income as a basic sample:
Mediam might be as low as 1500€/month.
Mean might be about 5000€/month... thanks to the few who earns/stole/...
about 100k€ or more (like 20m€) per month.

So, according to which one you select, you can say that the
buying-capability is about 5000€/month, or only 1500€/month... not
really the same numbers!
