re: Are you richer than the average American?

Yes but have atleast 30k in it plus some retirement?

I would have thought the average was closer to the 100k mark.

Yes but not by much, and as a non homeowner, most of it is in my 401K

I think you would be shocked at how many people live paycheck-to-paycheck, even those with higher incomes.

Probably for white people and Asians.

Honestly we do that a lot some months

But that's with a 10year and I think we put a good bit into 401k.

So I guess what happens is people are paycheck to paycheck just living it up on all accounts?

I bet the OT's average net worth and household income is nearly double the national average. Same with education level.

As much as it's joked about, this board really is full of ballers and scholars.

Six figures in savings doesn't =six figures in net worth?

You don't have 56k into your house?

I'm not worried- We are all Obama's children and he will care for us.

For the most part, the board is full of college educated white males, with exceptions, of course. That demographic alone puts the OT in a better situation than the 'average' American.
