Andrew, <<<Median Savings of U.S. Households = $1000>>>

Could't open the link. Is that bank account savings, checking account? Does it include investments and/or pensions?

I can see $1,000 in bank passbook savings.

I don't even have a passbook savings account. Not worth it with today's other liquid higher yielding money market type accounts.

All these claims that 40% of the population has an average net worth of $1,000 can be manipulated however one wants. I guess it depends upon the agenda of the claimant.
