No, I don't think I will. I have over $3500 in my bank account right now and I won't give you a single penny. Shut up and die poor.
You alright?
He’s in the top 10% of people in this world financially. I think he’s alright.
Only $3500 puts you in the top 10% worldwide?
If you have 0 dollars with no debt you are in the top 25% of America.
So you’re saying 75% of the US has negative net worth?
77% of Americans have more than $60,000 worth of debt, so yes
Debt is not the sole metric used for measuring net worth.
Net worth = assets - liabilities
Could have $150k worth of debt but if you have $400k worth of assets your net worth would be $250k
Facts but the number I gave you is not including mortgage that’s just debt.
It would be a lot more if I added mortgage debt, but that’s debt that can create money so I didn’t include it.
A mortgage is a type of debt.
You can have tons of debt and still have positive net worth.
No doubt. But I think it’s about 68% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, so not many people have a positive net worth even in debt.
Even the 25th percentile for net worth in the US was $12,000 as of 2020
Meaning 75% of households have a net worth in excess of $12,000
You would be far worse than top 55%
55% of adults globally share 1% of the globes wealth. (Net worth < $10,000 USD)
1% of adults globally share 46% of the globes wealth. (Net worth > $1,000,000 USD)
Only takes $1,000,000 USD to be in the top 1% globally.
That’s wild.
