Don't really see why you would exclude home equity though. If I own a $1,000,000 home outright at 41 years old, but only have $58k to my name, I would still feel damn great

Yeah…that’s a stupid metric. The bulk of my net worth is in tax deferred retirement that I can’t easily access…just like RE equity.

Why not remove stock and bond holdings, too?
I assume it's because they're liquid

Washington Post has an article “Are You Rich?” with a calculator that allows input of any amount for net worth, along with age, marital status, and education.
When compared to the entire population, anyone with a couple of bucks is above average. But when compared to those similarly situated, (college grad, live with SO or spouse, certain age range, etc.) you get a more realistic view of where you stand.
I don’t make a ton but save a lot. My net worth is better than 95% of Americans, but better than just 75% of persons similarly situated.

No. I just ignore you by choice because your counterpoints are usually pretty dumb yet you are very arrogant.
You seriously asked if that calculator removed home equity but left mortgage liability.
It's crazy how dumb you are yet think you are the smartest person here.

Who knows. He may be right, he may be wrong. I think the overall consensus on here is the amount of negativity that he posts. It’s really over the top and quite honestly, it’s weird.

But this person is CLEARLY hoping for something bad to happen.

This types of this are usually silly because financial health is more complex and nuanced than they make them.
Take two 40yos living in the same town doing the same high paying job but one has paid off a $2mm home and has $58k as an emergency fund and the other rents has $2mm in equities and $58k in an emergency fund. Their actually financial health would require a deep dive but the guy with $2mm in equity is not significantly worse off than the guy with $2mm in equities. Long term I would say they are in very similar situations in the short term the calculus becomes more complex.
