BEST OF TALKING MONEY: How much money do Americans say you need to be wealthy?

Show aired on January 24th, 2024

According to a recent Modern Wealth Survey conducted for Charles Schwab, Americans say you need $2.2M to “be wealthy.” The numbers drop significantly when those same people were asked how much they need to “feel wealthy.” On this program, Mike looks at how different generations from Gen Z to Boomers view wealth from a numbers perspective and from what being wealthy really means to them. Which would you say is more important: having a fulfilling personal life or having a lot of money?
