What net worth puts you in the top 25%, 10%, 0.1%?
For most Americans, hitting the top wealth tiers requires time, effort and a clear plan. But the rewards go beyond just numbers in a bank account. Financial security, freedom and the ability to live life on your terms are the true measures of success.
But we get it: folks want to know where they stand, and acknowledging your spot on the wealth spectrum can be a powerful motivator.
