FAQ
What is a typical net worth at this age?
The Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances (2023) reports medians that climb steeply with age: roughly $18,000 under 35, about $90,000 at 35–44, and over $275,000 by 55–64. The median is the middle household, not an average.
Should I compare myself to the average or the median?
Use the median. The average is pulled up by a small number of very wealthy households, so it makes most people feel behind. The median is the more honest yardstick for “where do I stand.”
My number is below the median — what now?
A single snapshot doesn’t tell the story. Focus on the trend: are you paying down debt and adding to savings each year? Consistent contributions and a falling debt-to-asset ratio matter more than today’s rank.
