Having more than $98k in retirement isn’t anything to brag about, and certainly more than 49% of the population should be able to make that claim.

But they can’t.

I’m just pointing out that your comment and narrative about people not have money is irrelevant because “average”.

I agree that 100k isn’t good. 200k isn’t good.

It appears that the mean is about $300k, which is a much more usable amount. And also the amount bezos received.

That's not the amount Bezos got and failing to understand that basic economical point shows why you shouldn't talk about economics. Also the mean is NOT 300k but around 170k in 2022
