I dream of a dual income household
It's quite nice, especially when she's a high earner.

People need to understand marriage is about love but also a business decision. It can improve or hurt you financially.

The average 50 year old in the U.S. is now a millionaire.
117,000,000 people over the age of 50 in USA.
That’s a shite ton of millionaires according to your nonpolitical narrative.

I think the amount of kids u have directly effects your ability to amass a milli....U could have a million on paper but still live paycheck to paycheck because it's not liquid. And if it was liquid, you wouldn't be a millionaire for long

I can believe that the average 50 year old has $1 million in wealth from home equity, retirement savings, etc.
I think the people who are 20-30 years old now will struggle to get there. The motivated ones will do fine though, but they may have to move and reinvent themselves more frequently.

Growing up being a millionaire meant you were wealthy. These days it's more like upper middle class. I'd consider 5 mill plus to be the next level of wealth.

quote:This article really pisses me off. First off, it appears they are implying household (head of household) net worth as equivalent to individual net worth. Second, applying statistical "average" in a report like this is absolutely stupid. Appropriate analyses like these are always Median, not Average. So $300K net worth, not $1M.

I agree with you and Mike da Tigah that it is definitely clickbait, but it’s also factually correct. The average for 50 year olds is a million.
They use the word average in a way that describes the person, rather than the amount in the bank account.
“50 year olds are worth an average of a million dollars” would be a factually accurate statement.”
Their statement that “the average 50 year old is a millionaire” is intentionally misleading at best, and I would argue factually inaccurate.

I’m on track to pay about $375k in tuition and costs.
My kids already know they're on a budget. If they want to spend alot of money on college, they're going to need scholarships, and I don't pay for grad school.

I only wish they would change the laws so you are 20% vested each year and not 100% vested till year 6.

If they had lied or misrepresented something

That is certainly accurate for me. Seems if you have a 401k and own a house, this shouldn't be too difficult to do.
It shouldn’t be, but it seems it is. A lot of people making poor financial decisions throughout their lives
