Thanks I was having a real shitty nite and seeing this made me feel a little better

Im a little soft around the edges, but I've got money in the bank, so I'd say I'm doing alright.

what % of people with <$5,000 in savings does this apply to?
True.
On the other hand consider that millenials don't trust the markets or banks. Where's the money?

What funds, exactly, does the government have?

No way I’m in the top 30% of savings. That just sounds dangerous to have that little just in case of small emergencies.

Well, I'm a bit overweight but my retirement account is fricking awesome. So, suck it.

More than 2 in 3 adults were considered to be overweight or have obesity.
I went to a health fair at work and I'm 6-1 200lbs. When my report came in, they listed me as obese and said I should weigh no more than 175. So I wouldn't put lots of stock into these reports.

Unless you're very muscular, 200 lbs is pretty fat at 6'1.

Does that debt model include mortgages? Seems low.

It's just credit card debt

I hate seeing that savings account stat year after year. Do you even need a savings account?
Yes. You can set aside easily accessible liquidity for 3-6 months' worth of living expenses without the headache (tax consequences/accountant/etc) of having to frick with your other finances, such as your brokerage accounts. If you're not an idiot, you can also get a decent yield from an Ally, etc., that will approximate inflation or possibly exceed it.

How do you have NOTHING in savings?? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Bunch of cohabiting obese citizens

Yeah BMI says I'm borderline obese but I have a six pack. Designed for guys with chicken legs/arms

The average person is also not that well educated. We got a bunch of poor fat arse dumb fricks running around.

I don't think it counts if your six pack is sitting in your lap or on the coffee table.
