Fidelity reports on median net worth of Americans by generation

Fidelity's recent reports indicate that net worth in the United States tends to rise with age, reflecting the accumulation of assets and reduction of debt over time. Younger individuals typically have lower net worths due to limited opportunities for investment and asset acquisition. However, net worth begins to decline after age 75 as retirees withdraw from their savings. Independent confirmation of these findings remains limited.
