    Average or Median, it makes a big difference. US Average wealth is $300,000, Median Wealth is $44,000 (source http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/11/news/economy/middle-class-wealth/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/11/news/economy/middle-class-we...) The US is skewed very heavily by a small number of very rich people at the top For comparison UK median is £104,000 (Source https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8239 https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8239)

    Oh, I actually meant "do you consider that a lot of money to have when unemployed?". Because, I wouldn't. (Even though it's more than many have saved when they lose jobs)

      $9000? Yeah that would be an awful lot of money for even an employed person to have saved over here.
