While Americans might enjoy throwing politically-charged barbs at their neighbors to the north, Canadians now have at least one reason to be smug. For the first time in recent history, the average Canadian is richer than the average American, according to a report cited in Toronto's Globe and Mail. And not just by a little. Currently, the average Canadian household is more than $40,000 richer than the average American household. The net worth of the average Canadian household in 2011 was $363,202, compared to around $320,000 for Americans.

"Net worth", meaning the value of everything they have. oh pffft, you guys are 3rd world in comparison to Australia. ''In 2009-10, on average, households in Australia held assets valued at $839,000, partially offset by average household liabilities of $120,000. After adjusting for changes in the CPI, the average household net worth of $720,000 in 2009-10 was 14% higher than in 2005-06, and 30% higher than in 2003-04.'' http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Main+Features10Dec+2011#Contents1 Sine Labore Nihil Posted at 3:03 pm on July 18, 2012 Quote: from The New World Order at 6:56 pm on July 18, 2012 does that include the price of the house they are in or combined incomes, because those numbers seem insanely high for just income.

So many Americans had such a tough time with the recession. A lot of us were hit bad, don't get me wrong. But they definitely took the biggest hit. Sine Labore Nihil Posted at 11:26 am on July 18, 2012 I heard that on the radio on the way to work today. I guess it's good news for Canada.
