I turn 30 in December and graduated in 2010, who’s doing school for 14 years? That’s too many.
4 years undergrad, 2 years for postgrad, 4 years medical school, 3-7 years of residency/fellowship training
Pretty typical. And at least you technically get paid minimum wage during those 80 hour weeks in residency. Obviously not even close to enough to dent the interest on the principal, but at least we don’t starve to death
Now do median
That feeling when you’re in your 30’s but have the net worth like you’re in your 20’s.
I grew up poor and was one of the first people in my family to go to college. All my older relatives told me how much further they expected me to go than they did. TFW ten years later I’m still making minimum wage but now I have 60 grand in debt and my aunts and uncles just sigh whenever they see me :agony:
I have seen plenty of graphs before showing how net worth for young people is clearly rapidly declining over time, but this one is a little confusing since the data is taken at different ages which messes with the numbers a bit. Correct me if I’m wrong but this image is better at showing just how fucked we all are
Share of national wealth is a weird stat since each generation has different populations
True
There must be a graph out there showing wealth per person at age X by year born. That would be very interesting to me
