Transcript
Are you behind or ahead financially? Most Americans are way further behind financially than people realize. Here is the average net worth and savings by age in America from 25 to 65. A lot of people assume everyone else has hundreds of thousands saved in cash, but the reality is most people have very little liquid savings and are heavily dependent on home equity and retirement accounts. If you are consistently investing, avoiding high interest debt, and increasing your income over time, you may actually be ahead of the curve.
