Are You Richer Than the Average Brit? (Net Worth by Age 2026)

Описание: The typical UK household is worth about £293,700 (ONS) — and most people are richer than they feel, but poorer than the headlines suggest. Here's what "net worth" really means, what's normal at every age, and exactly where you'd rank.

We cover:
• What net worth actually is (everything you own minus everything you owe)
• Why your wealth is mostly your home + pension — not your bank account
• The median household, the top 10% (£1.2m+) and the bottom 10%
• What's normal under 35, in the building years (35–54), and at the peak (65–74, ~£502,500)
• Why you're probably doing better than you think
• 3 levers to move up the ladder at any age

⚠️ Educational only — not financial advice. These are the latest official ONS figures but a couple of years old, so treat them as a guide.
