All right, let's see if you're in the average.

Average earnings by age group revealed.

And these were revealed by the Federal Reserve.

They put out some data and they broke it down via age group.

Median earnings by age for the typical U.S. worker.

If you are age 25 to 34, the average salary right now, the career

building stage is $60,000. Okay. If you're between 35 and 44, this is often your peak

early career earning age, $72,000 per year is the average. You do take a little,

a little slight dip at 45 to 54. The average salary is $71,000 a year. And then later in your

career at 55 to 64, the average salary, $68,000 per year.

And ages 65 plus, it goes down to $62,000 a year.

So how are you stacking up?

Are you in the average?

What I found interesting about this, and whenever there's data involved, always I'm like all right stop let's look

into this and make sure that it's being presented correctly so a lot of times when you hear about

earnings generally they're presented in the form of household earnings so whether or not you know if

you're married with a couple of kids and your wife stays home from work your household earnings

are whatever the man earns but if both your spouses work then the household earnings are whatever the man earns. If both, you know, spouses work, then the household earnings are combined. That's not what this is. This is individual earnings for single, for one single solitary person. And I think that's important to point out. The other thing that I found shocking on this, I think there's always been this narrative that, you know, as you get older, especially into your late 40s and 50s, You're supposed to be earning more and more and more. You're earning more. But look at this. So, I mean, when you're... It goes down.

You plan. narrative that, you know, as you get older, especially into your late 40s and 50s, you're supposed to be earning more and more and more. But look at this. So, I mean, when you're down, you plateau. Well, but it's about the same. So from 35 to 64, the earnings are essentially

the same. There's only a $3,000 difference between those two age groups there. So, I mean,

this is showing that the data, pretty much when you're 35, the average person

making the same when they're 64.
