I'm not surprised. I just turned 29, and the median net worth for the 20-29 age bracket is $7,900...and the average net worth for households under 35 is just $11,400.

To be in the top 25% net worth for 20-29 is only $36,000...but top 10% for my age bracket is ~119,000. And yikes, CNN money says median net worth for my age is a whopping $2,125.

I think that student loans and credit card foolishness are significant factors in the low-skewing results for folks my age. Also, people wait way too long to start IRAs/401ks etc.
...

just my $.02
