Does the average person have close to $100,000 saved up.. by the age of 30?
                     
 




robert w
Thanks for the giggles.
the 'average' person by 30 is in debt by 8000$ - 150000$. the average person is living on 1 -2 yrs of advance pay not even paycheck to paycheck.
visit daveramsey.com to be informed.

The average person CAN.
But the average person WILL not.

I suppose a few people do by that age, but certainly not average.

It is certainly very easy to do so, but unfortunately the vast majority of 30-year-olds have debts, not savings. Schools teach basic math, but most people allow wanting a new car or a big house NOW get in the way of the common sense that would make them stinking rich later.

Assume someone starts work at age 20, earning $25,000/year; and invests10% of each paycheck in a fund averaging 12%. Saving 10% takes NO EFFORT, because almost any one of us would take a 10% paycut over being fired! That $2,500 a year will become $49,136 by age 30. If you use this model, and a little effort, you can save 20% of every paycheck and have $98,273 by age 30. If you are fortunate enough to work somewhere offering a 401(k) that matches 3 or 4% of your deferments, you can effectively achieve a savings rate closer to 25%, and have $137,000 and change by age 30! And that assumes NO ANNUAL RAISES EVER!

Statistics and financial web sites say no!

"The number-crunching folks at the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis dished out some discouraging news recently, saying that Americans spent more than they earned in 2005 -- a negative savings rate of 0.5 percent for the year. That's the first time that's happened since the Great Depression. "

If so-I'm in trouble and I hate my life! (JK!) If you save your money and let it compound interest, possibly, but I doubt many people can save that much by such a young age.

Very simply....no.
