During my lunch break, I decided to have a little fun and see how I stack up with other NetworthIQers. As you may or may not know, that's how I track my net worth, though I keep my profile private....
For my age group, I am severely behind. In fact, I fit in the median of my previous age bracket.
Same thing with education.
I am way, way ahead for my income group. In fact, I fit the median of two brackets above me!
I am ridiculously ahead in my occupational field.
Lastly, I am behind by state count, but that doesn't mean anything to me.
I think it's also worth noting that NetworthIQers are like SAers in that we are a particular breed. Chances are good that those who track their net worth are are likely to be financially savvy, and is therefore a tougher crowd to compare finances against....
Not that this is a contest or anything, but it's just nice to see that I am not hopeless... and I can even sort of run with the pack now.

I'd go against the census data (and that has bias also) when it comes up after 2010.

I do think my occupational field is skewed as well, since it's blue-collar, relatively low-waged, and... stereotypically-speaking, may not be the most financially savvy group.
