- chmod600 5y agoThank you for providing numbers. But it takes a bit more effort to combine this number with what the article offers into a coherent point. If the top 10% has a lot of older workers-and-savers in it, then it's not very outragous. Your numbers don't answer that very clearly. Are those people who have worked for 40 years? Does it include spouses who may have worked for less time? And how does the median (50th percentile) translate into the 10th percentile, and what's the wealth cutoff for the 10th percentile?
