I've seen this info before and was shocked by the numbers. They are alarmingly low. I just checked again and our net worth for our income is over the median by a 6-figure amount, and that isn't even counting all assets like cars, jewelry, collectibles, etc. I'm only counting financial assets and home equity.
I think we're doing okay but think we could be doing even better. When I see the median, though, I really wonder how any of these people ever hope to retire.
