It's that time of year again! The time when everyone anonymously enters their net worth into a form so we can all wonder at how exactly we all got so rich (or not) while also wasting so much time on a comedy Internet forum. As first seen on the Bogleheads forum.

Check out the various sheets in the spreadsheet to see some summary statistics :). Wish I knew who the high school diploma person earning $900k with a negative net worth is. Or the 29 year old Asian person with a doctorate earning $250k but with a net worth of $2.7M.

If anyone is handy with actual statistics / visualizations, your efforts would be appreciated in summarizing this information :).

If you want to see how much BFC has changed over the last year, here's a link to the 2015 SA: BFC net worth survey.

Is there any way to edit responses?

From the survey instructions: if you would like to edit your response and you no longer have the edit link please submit a new entry and annotate it in the "additional comments" section with the results row number and timestamp of the entry you would like updated.

People are really underutilizing the optional Additional Comments field IMO

Agreed!

So did you leave out "Hispanic" from the ethnic choices on purpose?

Not intentional! Added.

So i got a little confused. I took the equity in my home as part of my net worth and excluded the remaining on the mortgage. Later you ask f9r mortgage in debts. Is it a common thing to include your whole house in net worth and I dunno just ignore the mortgage? Doesn't that kinda invalidate the term net?

A house with a mortgage counts in net worth (value - mortgage), as an illiquid asset (value), and as a debt (mortgage).
