Federal Reserve’s 2022 consumer finance survey unveils a striking picture of American prosperity.

The mean net worth of the average household has ascended to $1.06 million , up 23% from $ 868,000 in 2019 .

Between 2019 and 2022 , real median family income modestly grew by 3% , while real mean family income saw a more significant 15% increase.

These gains were predominantly enjoyed by the higher income brackets, amplifying existing income inequalities.

Growing gap between perceived wealth and financial reality highlights the value of financial advisers, especially for those earning between $150,000 and $250,000 a year.

Often considered newly affluent, this group may not always seek financial guidance.

Financial advisers can offer key insights to help manage immediate financial challenges and plan for future growth.
