  • “The size of each bubble represents average household wealth for each country, or assets minus liabilities.”
  • “This takes into account things like savings, securities, stocks and loans (but not real estate).”
  • US figures are higher thanks to personal retirement account savings.
  • Most in other developed nations still rely on pensions (excluded from wealth calculations) as well as state benefits.
