Many high-earning individuals believe that a strong income naturally leads to long-term financial security. However, data consistently show a gap between income and wealth accumulation. The Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances reveals that the median net worth of households varies significantly by income tier, with households in the top income quintile holding more than ten times the wealth of middle-income households.
