Breaking it down by generations still does not change the fact that a lot less than 56% of Americans have more than $5000 in their savings accounts. Maybe more of certain generations do, but that's not what you said.
Take the average of the brackets across all generations that have more than $5,000 in savings and you get 56.25%.
It’s very simple math. If you need a step by step guide I will provide it but it will be embarrassing for you.
Yet again, in hard numbers, measuring physical human beings, it's far less than 56%. I have no idea why you think averages are relevant.
What do you think is being averaged? Please continue to demonstrate you haven’t read or comprehended the article.
It’s hilarious how some basic math I expect a 6 year old to manage is beyond you.
It doesn't matter what is being averaged. When you are talking about what percentage of Americans have something, it's about hard numbers, not averages. Insulting me won't change that, but if you insist on continuing to do so, I'll just report you for violating the rules and move on.
I’m talking about getting the average from savings brackets across multiple demographics.
Again this is super simple stuff. Read the article.
If you don’t want your intelligence being questioned you should perhaps read the article. Then do some extremely easy math which will validate my answer of 56%.
You aren’t discussing in good faith if you won’t even read the provided source when discussing hard numbers.
