The Surprising Truth About How Much Money You Need to Be Considered Rich in America
TL;DR Summary
Americans now consider themselves wealthy if they have an average of $2.2 million in assets, according to Charles Schwab’s 2023 Modern Wealth survey. However, many participants, particularly of the younger generations, are saying money alone doesn’t always equal wealth. Experiences, relationships and career carry just as much currency. Nearly half of Americans (48%) polled said they already feel wealthy, despite having an average net worth of around $560,000. Social media was also influential for young people and how they measure wealth, with 54% of Gen Z and 47% of millennials saying they compare their lifestyles to others they follow on social media.
