I am a resounding NO.
I don't think 95% of the people on this board could tell you their net worth anyway, but it's fairly safe to say that it's nowhere near $1M.
Given how the housing market has seen significant equity wiped out, the only real net worth most people have any more is in investments or savings, and if you're under age 40 and have children chances are those numbers are way lower than you think. If you have a mortgage and student loan debt there is a decent chance you have negative net worth.
The average net worth for Americans age 35-44 is roughly 50k.
I find it hard to believe 95% of people on this board can't calculate their net worth.
Also, folks on this board are more likely to be better than average than the general population. The fact we have 5 out of almost 40 claiming a net worth of over a million is demonstrative of this I guess.
Perhaps a poll where people answer whether they have a net worth of less than 50K is in order as well.
