these results are [censored]. many 2+2ers are saying they make way more in a year then they have saved.

[/ QUOTE ]

is that really that strange for a bunch of 20 year olds who started playing poker last year and make $50k-$200k?

[/ QUOTE ]

No but I would assme most 20 yr olds that made $200K last year would still have at least 100K of it in some kind of asset.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you aware that most Americans figure out a way to spend every dollar they make (and then some)? Their idea of saving money is 30% off at the mall.

I think the median income in the US is around $45k, and the median savings rate is negative, so I'm not sure why you're surprised by this.

If you are making 100-250k you are probably not that stupid.

That is a VERY bold assumption. Especially when dealing with younguns such as on 2+2. I thought Shoe's statement was hilariously accurate.

There are lots of people who make less than 50k a year that retire with more money than those making over 150k a year. How much you make has no relation to how smart you are with your money.

I am surprised too by how people in such good jobs, making such good money, with good educations, can be so dumb when it comes to their finances. I'm not specifically talking about people on this site, just people in general.

OMG, I never thought about it this way, but it's so true. I know people who are always looking for "deals" or "sales", but they never save up a cent to their own name. Granted, I'm in college, so these are mostly college students I'm referring to. I figure some of them will get smarter as they grow up, but I'd wager money that a good portion of them are going to fit the exact description you just gave.
