Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

This study finds that both the wealth accumulation and savings of immigrants are lower than their native born counterparts. [This study does] not indicate the time at which immigrants begin saving, the conclusion that foreign born individuals save less than native born individuals may indicate that the point at which saving begins is later for those who immigrate into this country.
