According to a 2024 Charles Schwab survey, the average American considers a net worth of $2.5 million to be wealthy. This is up from $2.2 million in 2023 and 2022.
 
Crazy wealthy when you consider the cost of housing in my opinion! Seems to me you would own outright and maintain a million dollar home a couple new vehicles a bunch of toys and still have no problems paying all bills.
