Serial killers come from all levels of society. Very few have a lifestyle that enables them to earn high salaries. Very few have a lifestyle that exposes them to public scrutiny as a rich person might experience.
The majority of serial killers have come from ordinary, everyday jobs, menial or part time jobs, or little regular employment.
Placing an income range for a serial killer isn't possible since serial killers operate in different societies, countries, and time periods.
Young people aged 15 to 24 are often more likely to engage in risky behaviors due to factors such as peer pressure, lack of impulse control, and limited decision-making skills. Additionally, this age group may be more likely to be involved in conflicts, gangs, or criminal activities, which can increase their risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of homicide. Factors such as poverty, lack of access to education and employment opportunities, and exposure to violence can also contribute to the higher homicide rates among this age group.
The statistics on murderers who kill after being released from prison vary, but recidivism rates for violent offenders are generally lower than those for non-violent offenders. Factors such as age, substance abuse, and support systems play a role in determining the likelihood of reoffending.
There is no specific percentage of murders triggered by infidelity as motivations for murder can vary greatly among cases. Infidelity can be a factor in some murders, but it is not the sole or primary cause in the majority of cases.

During 2012, an approximate of 75 people died of intentional homicide each day. This may seem a lot if you compare it to say, the United States (3 murders per day). But in general terms, Mexico is much safer than say, Brazil (113 murders per day), or India (118 murders/day).
These murders however, are unevenly distributed; northern cities such as Juarez, Tijuana or Monterrey are the highest in number of victims. For example, during 2011, more than 1608 people died on Juarez alone (five per day) and such city is regarded as the second most dangerous in the world. On the other hand, cities such as Cozumel, Merida and Huatluco didn't have any murders throughout the entire year. Even complete regions such as Yucatan, Chiapas or Oaxaca report less than 20 murders per year in their territories.

First, you have to tell us what a "licensed gun" is- in most of the US, there is no requirement for licensing of a gun.
The overwhelming majority of privately owned firearms are never used in criminal acts- but by some accounts are used in defense several million times each year.
As the above stated, only a very certain few types of firearms require a license in order to own - primarily military-style weaponry. A license is issued for a specific gun and a specific individual - licenses are NOT transferrable, though a gun which requires licensing can be transferred to another owner who as obtained the proper license. Licenses are usually issued by the federal government, though certain states may also require a state license of guns not covered by the federal government.
However, the vast majority of firearms are required to be registered with authorities - that is, authorities must be notified that the gun is being purchased by person X. This includes private-party transfers and sales, which must also be registered. Registered guns can be sold or given to a new owner, provided the registration is updated (and the new owner is not prohibited from owning a weapon, e.g. a felon).
Most people say "licensed" when they really mean "registered", as they're not aware of the difference between the two concepts.
Overall, statistics are hard to find that aren't twisted by one side or the other. Realistically speaking, one would expect the vast majority of "known assailant" murders (where the victim knew the murderer) to be committed with a registered gun, while the majority of "unknown assailant" murders to be committed with an unregistered (or illegally transferred) weapon.
