My wife and I are 25 and net worth around $110k. I attribute this to not going into debt to get through college.

35yr old, Married - net worth of ~520k.
We feel very privileged however I attribute most of this to our disgust with debt (even though yes we use a CC 100% of the time and pay it off weekly- sorry George) and have never carried a balance besides mortgage.
Working as an accountant has helped me stay focused on our finances.

I'm 58, and my net worth is approximately $80k, under the median. I have $10k in an emergency fund, no debt, I max out my HSA, and I'm contributing 25% of my income to a 401k. I can increase that percentage each year. I know I'm behind, but I'm doing what I can to catch up.

29 years old net worth of 220K. Been married 8 years. Have 3 kids. Bought a duplex 3 years ago, we’re living in one unit and renting out the other. That’s been one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.

Everybody moves at their own pace, so if you’re a little behind, just keep grinding 💪

Woah, woah, woah, don't come after the poor little Miata! You clearly haven't driven one on a winding back road. Not only is it a relatively affordable way to have a mid-life crisis, but it'll also have you smiling like a child at speeds that don't get you thrown into jail.

I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

Go drive a stick shift Miata with the top down on hwy 1. The california coast from SF to San Diego. It’ll change your life. Plus they’re fun, reliable, cheap and easy to fix.

[carterdawsonn]

30 household net worth including home equity 450k (270k in home value appreciation) attributed to being fortunate in getting a home before recent nonsense in the Toronto area and working through college to graduate debt free and no skill of my own.

[jamesash]

My wife and I are 27 years old and have a net worth of $355k. We tackled student loans right after college and just focused on the necessities. We currently make $60k a year as my wife is a SAHM now. Our highest earning year was only $100k - it's doable people!

[GoldCoinTalk]

I just turned 24. My net worth just passed 100k. I credit this to living with parents until 22, going to instate college, and saving money

[Austin-fcgs]

Im glad i held off on calling you out on average vs median
