Don't understimate the compounding of your savings over time, as money you put in early career can grow substantially. If I average the amount of retirement savings for my wife and I combined it comes to around $34K per year, but we haven't put in nearly that much every year since we started saving.

As for people on the net being better off than the norm... not anybody I know of...! As for having internet access? It may not be a "thing" in the States, but here in the UK, our public libraries have computers & provide a certain degree of internet access for free (usually one free hour with the option to pay for a second, though my own local library don't charge for the second hour either). I know a number of homeless people or people with otherwise insecure or severely impoverished living situations who spend a lot of time in the library I normally use sometimes to save having to use utilities at home, sometimes just to stay indoors. So it's wrong to assume internet access makes somebody rich. By worldwide standards? Maybe. But within their own societies?
