It’s literally the average cost of a home in Huntington Beach. It’s insane

Nice "humble brag" Coach.   ;D

Only pennies compared to the average Getbigger.  What's a penny?

The average 50-something American is now worth $1.4 million

The average 50-something American has a net worth of $1.4 million, according to a report from Empower, the financial services firm. The average 60-something is worth $1.6 million.

Didn’t really need a “report” to tell us this; anyone paying attention could have done the math and drawn the same conclusion.  Most of it is real estate and retirement accounts; so how is this news? ::)

-I was a billionaire (RSD) as an 18 year-old. It didn't matter, I was poor as a church mouse.
-An ounce of gold is worth $5,000.00 now. This year it might go much higher.

get my gist?

Without the report from Empower and the federal Survey of Consumer Finances study, how would you know how much Americans have in their retirement accounts and at what age?
