With rising tuition and therefore higher and higher student loans, coupled with a poor housing market with a poor economy, the average net worth for many professionals especially those on the younger side, say less than 45 or so, may likely have a low or negative net worth since your net worth is largely from your equity in a home plus investments minus debt. It's all relative, of course making 250k will allow you to catch up much faster than making 50k, but still takes time, discipline and maybe a little luck.
