Welcome to Startup Hakk! My name is Spencer Thomason. I have been a Software Developer for over 25 years. I have helped hire and train over a hundred developers. Today we are going to talk about a recent study that I was reading about how much money it takes the average American to feel rich!
Ok – so I was reading this study that was on CNBC about how much money it took for most Americans to feel rich. The survey starts off right away with an interesting title:
“Survey Finds Majority of Americans Don’t Need Millions to Feel Financially Stable”
According to the findings, 80% of those surveyed say they need to earn at least $100K a year to feel rich – including 22% who say they’d need to earn at least $1 million.
However, the vast majority of adults don’t need millions to feel financially stable. Just 3% of those surveyed say they’d need to earn an annual income of $1 million to feel financially secure and more than half (54%) of respondents say they’d be comfortable earning less than $100K annually, including 18% who say they’d be financially comfortable earning less than $50K a year.
Additional findings from the CNBC Make It: Your Money Survey include:
- Among those who aren’t retired, the majority of respondents (42%) think they’ll need at least $100K, but less than $1 million to retire comfortably.
- 30% think they’ll need at least $1 million or more to retire comfortably while 11% say they could retire comfortably on less than $100K.
- More than a third (38%) of those surveyed say the best way to earn passive income is through owning rental properties while others choose to invest in dividend-paying stocks (15%) or fixed-income assets such as bonds (11%).
- 27% of Americans say they’ve invested in the stock market in the last year while just 12% have invested in real estate.
- The majority (60%) of Americans rate the risk of investing in crypto as “high”, which is up from 45% in August 2021.
- About a quarter (26%) rate investing in crypto as a “moderate” risk while only a few say it’s “low” (5%) or “no risk” (5%).
- Only 10% of those surveyed say they invest in cryptocurrency, nearly the same as August of last year (11%).
- Millennials remain the biggest fans of crypto (15%), followed closely by Gen-Z (12%).
