Comment on Bottom 80% of US Households Persistently Dissaves-Spending More Than Incomeparent

Comments

Interesting, I just pulled this the other day. Average (mean) bottom-20 household has 18 K in checking deposit assets and 200 K in total assets. even while that quintile’s income caps at $32K. America is a very rich country…

Do you remember where you saw that? The Census figures are much lower: $11k total assets at the 25th percentile, $-1.5k at the 10th.
