Investopedia Analysis of 2022 Consumer Finances Survey Highlights Wealth Gaps
What happened
Investopedia analyzed the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, finding that about 14% of U.S. households headed by someone 65 or older hold $1 million or more in financial assets. The analysis showed that retirees who are married or partnered are significantly more likely to reach this mark than single households. Furthermore, college graduates are several times more likely to have at least $1 million than those with only a high school diploma.
