    What’s interesting is that this doesn’t even tell the whole picture.

    Because those people earning $170k/year? More than likely their net worth is negative. They owe more than they’re making, and even at that income rate and excluding long term debt, they have just enough in savings to last three months max.

      Yeah and those are national statistics.

      You don’t hit the top 10% in New York state until you break 330k
