If this is indeed "average" it's average in the sense that if Warren Buffett were to walk into a sub-Saharan African slum where people live on less than $1 per day, smile genially, and say to the first person he sees: "Say, on average you and I are multi-billionaires."<BR/><BR/>According to a link found on the CNN.com Personal Finance page, the MEDIAN net worth for an American in the 35-44 age group (which is actually older than you, no?) is less than $50k. Wouldn't median be a more useful figure for your purposes here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
