Peeking on our bank account – how much is not much :)

Out of curiosity and not having guts to ask in plain view I have resorted to seeking advice in this awesome forum. May I ask, what is the median net worth of an average John or Jane Doe from our diaspora who share the following arbitrary scenario, although not exact? For example, s/he came to US as a Student. Graduated from College. Got a job (probably in IT or similar higher paying fields). Company sponsored for h1b and eventually GC. Got married. Had a child. Bought a house. Long story short – saved some, spent others, started a savings account, probably an investment account, has 401K or an IRA, paid up the car etc. Is somewhere between 30 years to 40 years of age. What does the median bank balance look like? I am curious. I know it is highly personal question. Probably stupid to ask. But I thought let’s give it a shot. May we share some personal financial story, although discreetly. I hope this won’t be taken negatively. I am trying to exclude friends who own businesses, are entrepreneurs, came to US via Green Card, are highly specialized professionals like Doctors or Scientists. Because my desire was to get an understanding of average financial net worth of folks who share similar backgrounds like one above.
