Re: how to compare living standards

I note that the median net worth (last column)
increases by factor of
178.7/7.8 = 22.9 times from age 20's to 50's

I think that supports my claim that on average,
people's wealth increases with age.


And who disputes that claim?

That people get wealthier with age is hardly more surprising than the fact
that they get older with age. But nobody who respects the English language
would call that "age mobility".
