We know an American 50 year old has an average Net Worth of less than $40,000 including Home Equity.

Home Equity already includes any small incremental value added by the dramatic new drapes, glamorous Pella windows, and this week's groceries which were paid for with a home equity line of credit.

While a major kitchen remodel adds $32,645 in debt plus annual interest payments, it increases the value of a home by only $18,901.

The bottom line is the rest of the savings are gone and $40,000 doesn't pay for a very comfortable retirement.
