Thanks for visiting Sam. I’ve been looking for the best way to get the message out, but of course, it’s a complicated topic, and many variables to consider.

This is an excellent analysis Joe. Just finished skimming through it. I think one of the reasons why not more people comment or respond is b/c it’s a little tough to understand all the nuiansces.

Love the charts!

Jim – I meant ‘median’. Your definition is correct, mean is the average, median, the halfway point.

Whether it’s a Roth IRA or a traditional one, IRAs are a great way to build wealth.

In my case, a Roth IRA makes more sense because of the fact that there are no obligated distributions. You can leave those savings to your children!

Pretty good analysis. Too many people seem to overlook the impact of the standard deductions on tax rates in retirement.

When you say: “for those born in 1956-65 the mean (half are above half below) expected household wealth”

Median is the point where 50% is above and 50% is below. The mean would be skewed high by a few very wealthy individuals. So the median point would be less than the mean.
