Just curious, i know there are numbers for average salary, but how much does the typical middle age American family have saved up? Or are we a country of loans?

idk typically $3.50
half of all Americans don't have $2000 saved up: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2011/05/50-americans-couldnt-come-up-2000/38058/

It's hard to save.
Yep. Especially hard to save and live the american dream too.
Descriptive statistics. There was at least one retirement account in 57 percent of the households. The average or mean amount in the retirement accounts was $49,944, but the standard deviation was $174,193, suggesting that the dollar amount held in retirement accounts varies widely by individual households. The median amount held in retirement accounts--$2,000--provides another indication of the wide variation in the amounts held by households.
These numbers are skewed because they refuse to include the Americans who keep their savings in the form of gold
Yeah, because most people have a shoebox of gold coins in the safe deposit box. Most people don't even have an emergency account, unless you, like them, think enough for a couple new tires and an oil change will cover it. Grandma's 20 silver dollars too, if things get really bad.
