Just curious on what the average family has in savings. I know this isn't a very accurate poll, but I was curious. :smile: Not talking about stocks and things, but actual money that you could go withdraw from the bank today.

according to WIKI (and we know thats real accurate) The average family in the U.S has about 1000.00 in their savings.

I think this would mean that retirement is out of the question for our next flood of old peoples.

I think you could get a better idea if there were more lower denominations and less big ones. Something like 0-2500, 2501-5000, 5001-10000 and so on.

And yea, somehow I doubt there are that many with the largest denomination.

And yea, somehow I doubt there are that many with the largest denomination.I don't doubt it at all. Someone who's been working 25-30 years should have $50K or more tucked away (yes there are old people here). :lmao:

JoeMac
11-02-2009, 05:32 PM
I suppose that's true, but the op stated money that you can get today. Shouldn't most of that be in accounts that limit withdraw? I also went back and looked at the poll again and the highest denomination is only 50K, for some reason the first time I saw it I thought it was higher.

Money you can withdraw today. There's a rule of thumb about how much cash you should have to live for so many months. I don't remember what it is but I know I'm good for over 3 years. :overachiever: :lmao:

I have interest phobia, so I keep enough in savings to pay for anything major that might happen - new roof, car goes kerflooey, whatever. Every extra penny I have goes into paying off my mortgage (that interest phobia thing).

I wanted to do that with "extra" money but our money manager explained why it wasn't in our best interests to do so. It was a lengthy conversation that made sense at the time. It had to do with making more in investments as a percentage than you would be saving by paying off your mortgage early. Tax deductions :blahblah: We decided to listen to the guy since we are actually paying him to manage our investments. :lol:

I've had that same conversation with money people, including my husband and Dad. But there's that phobia thing that I can't get past. It pisses me off to see how much interest I'll pay on my house, and excites me to think how much interest I save by making extra principle payments.

That would feel good to me as well. I refuse to part with my big chunk of cold had cash in the bank though. I told hubby I want to be able to go to the bank and walk out with my load and fly/drive where ever the hell I want to and have enough to hide out for a while. :lol:

Our investor guy told us the same thing! I am still adding an extra $25 per payment. Not much, I know, but every little bit helps.

The general rule of thumb I have heard is 6 months living expenses. Although they urge at least 3 because most people don't even have that.

I always heard those numbers but I think they all got bumped up because of this wacked-out economy. I had about 12 months but it went down to 8 months when I added another pony to the stable back in August.

I get where you are coming from with the interest phobia. If I start to send in an extra $554.58 a month starting next month, I cut 14 years off of my mortgage. Mortgage paid off by 2021 sounds good to me. I didn't check to see how quickly that would drop my PMI either and once that goes down, that will open up over $100 extra to send in, invest, or do whatever with.
