...for an upper-middle class thirty something year old to have saved in their bank account?
(Speaking in terms of one who is not yet married or with children.)
I realize this is a general statement, but overall.
I'm not asking what's in YOUR bank account, just what you think is the average amount for most.

While I have no idea how much the average is, it is usually suggested that you have between 2 and 6 months salary in savings no matter what your age and income level is. For someone in their 30s, it is best to already have a retirement plan such as 401(k), IRAs, stocks, etc set up in order to plan for retirement. The sooner you start preparing for retirement, the less you will actually have to put into it because of the way interest accrues and stocks (for the most part) increase in value.

If you own your home, have a 401K, and drive a nice car, a good amount in the bank would be $15,000.

I would bet the average is $0.

I think most of them should have a month or 2 months salary...if not more.
