Where did you find that average net worth for 35-44 year olds? That seems much higher than I expected. What's the median?

Oh, you actually shared the median. The average is $1.06 million. I guess I know some broke-ass people, and am one myself. Almost everyone I know is well below those numbers.
Outliers are undoubtedly massively skewing the average.
