24 and about $70k

I actually paid off my car loan last week. Neither of us will be buying another car until our current ones are completely worthless. I'm generally not a big fan of buying new vehicles but the warranty and first ownership of a car you plan on using for 10+ years were good enough reasons to cause us to buy them from a dealer.

I was curious about this a few days ago and looked up these stats: (from 2006)

Under 35 – $15,000
35 to 44 – $140,000
45 to 54 – $230,000
55 to 64 – $407,000
65 and older – $300,000

I thought that was terribly low?

Well the under 35 is gonna be pretty low. What age is the lowest they are including? 18? Obviously the 18-24 is probably gonna be $0 at best for most people.

Not for ATOT. Most people from that age group are worth 6 figures or more. Didn't you get the memo?

Every thread I see this kind of comment about how the typical ATOT member will reply how baller they are...and then I read the actual responses which are usually much more grounded. If anything, I find the "obligatory ATOT response" injections to be far more annoying than any of the real replies.

My apologies for getting your panties in a wad. Maybe you should post your numbers so we can break the "average", eh?

Are those benchmark figures, as something to aim for? If so they seem low. I something about retirement on Yahoo Finance a month ago and was shocked -

http://finance.yahoo.com/retirement...youre-not-ready-to-retire?mod=retire-planning

"Nearly a third of working people aged 55 or older have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, according to a 2009 Retirement Confidence Survey."

and with Social Security going in the RED this year (will start using the so called Trust Fund (IOU's currently) by year's end), many will end up with a not so rosy outcome.

This is ATOT, everyone should be posting $1,000,000+ net worth and <25 years old.

Be careful posting this...someone will be pissed off and shoot your eye out. Happened to me! ^_^
Seems like you're the one with their panties in a wad... Oh no! Someone is making fun of my comment which in turn was being used to make fun of the thread as well as the supposedly typical ATOT liar posing as an uber-successful, under-35 millionaire/playboy. Watch out, though, cuz I'll shoot out your eye...:sneaky:

I suddenly feel puzzled that I had more money in my early 20's than I do now at 37 in terms of net worth... WTF?
