I understand. The average is pushed up by a few with LOTS of assets.

I would argue that MOST people have under $500k in net worth. They are still carrying mortgages and car payments. They still rack up credit card debt. They live on nothing but meager SS.

If most people have the greatest percentage of their net worth in their homes, they will erode that as millions of homes come onto the market.

It’s not going to be pretty. These people better make nice with their kids…because that’s where you are going to live for a while.

They are going to cost the younger generations lots of money.

[Political Junkie Too]

Absolutely. The average also includes the "wealthiest 1%", and that number is yuge, though with fewer people.
