The Chinese get told the truth, and they think, “No way it’s that bad.” Meanwhile, the U.S. lies to its citizens and the world, painting a picture of how great things are. $1.2M net worth for the “average” household? Sure, if we ignore the fact that most Americans are drowning in debt.

@chiefgyk3d The average person has $192,000. Are you saying that's too low?

@Sibshops @chiefgyk3d I don't know a single person personally that has ever had that much money in their bank. EVER.
Skewed by the billionaires for sure.
Do you have 192,000 in your account? Can I borrow a few hundred...?😩

@Sibshops average is skewed by the very wealthy. When the actual average person is suffering.

@chiefgyk3d I feel like I'm missing something. Both the average and median were mentioned. Should something else be included? Net worth includes debt, too, right?
