minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·25 days agoThat’s not correct. The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person
minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·25 days agoYeah their number sounded really high, but fuck it hurt to see 250k as well. Do I count as 0 or a negative number if I have more debt than my possessions are worth?
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-28 days agoI think 0 EDIT: I meant to say the total asset value.? I’m not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.
minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·25 days agoCould still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.
