As of between April 2022 and June 2023, the median amount of savings that adults had in their balance in the United States decreased significantly. The average savings balance also decreased, according to a survey. The reason for the disparity between the median and mean values is that the answers of those respondents with very high savings that distort the results of the mean, but not the median.
