The $122K American Dream
The $122K American Dream
Across the US, wages are up, and more raises are expected in 2022. But rising prices have Americans losing confidence in their own financial health. In fact, Americans now feel they need to make roughly $122K a year to feel financially healthy. That’s more than double the national average salary. It’s no surprise, since the cost of living just rose at the fastest annual rate since 1982. On the sunny side, Americans remain optimistic and hopeful about the future. Despite uncertainty over the current economy, confidence in longer-term investments and retirement savings is up, and many are seeking allies to help them achieve financial health.
