62% of Americans have less than $1000 in savings

[Benjamin Sisko]

So this is the thread where the average coli nikka has AT LEAST 10 g's in the bank?

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I mean... that number is kinda misleading.

I wouldn't expect most people under 18 to have over a grand saved. What percentage of Americans is that?

But overall, I call bs. 62% of Americans don't have $1k in the world? Does that even sound right?

Savings Accounts are a joke. Why keep one when the return on Interest is a pathetic 0.02% or less for a basic account, and BOA charges $10 for overdraft protection?

I keep my money in checking (1.5k minimum), charge everything to my card and pay it off in full every month. I get hundreds in rewards every year as opposed to less than $20 for Savings.

Online savings are the best bet. I have an account with ally and haven't had any issues. They also offer higher interest. I think I'm getting near 1%. No point in saving at a b&m bank. It's best to post yourself first and build up savings. That's how I did it.

This thread has been done to death, but that number is alarming.

I agree but you know damn well its only like ten topics that get discussed here over and over and over

Most Americans have less than $1,000 in savings



That is just disgusting man. How do not have $1,000 in the bank at the very minimum

cause bills.... lets say you make 3500 a month... and your bill are 2600 a month.... you officially don't have 1000 even tho you got 900


but yea... with the avg HOUSEHOLD only making 50k a year... that's essentially 25k a person

don't let tv, movies and bullshyt fool you... america is bigger than the coastal states and most people are fukking broke

You wasted time to say that?

You wasted time to say that?

Indeed.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

$1000 ain't what it used to be.

 

[QuintessentialBM]

Can't relate.... I have 6 times that amount, and by year's end I'll have 10+ times that amount.

takes money to save money

 

[Pacni99a12]

Looks like I'm apart of that stat. I've got plenty of loot, but its all in a checking account

 

[1thouwow]

Everybody in here acting like they don't fall in with the statistics.
Y'all nikkas broke.

Thats crazy. But a good portion of America is broke. It's a grand matrix bubble some of us live in. Hell I'm working on being able to put away a rack per month.
