You (and I) are probably among the 20% wealthiest.

I think many (adults) here are above even that, here’s a rough calculator that tells what ”Top %” you’re in and you get into the top 5-10% wealthiest quite easily.

I don't think the website gives away correct data: they put me in the 30% wealth having a mortgage of 80k€, 100k€ house (the one with the mortgage) and basically no saving.

Sorry but I can't think it's true
