The numbers given for household net worth can't be right. The other day on the radio I heard Rush mention the Forbes survey and I almost fell off my chair when he used the number of over $400,000 for household net worth.
The Forbes piece labels the "typical" household net worth. I don't know what typical is supposed to measure. My guess is that the number must be the mean (average). The median I think is still under $100,000.
