Unemployment remains low and stocks <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/stock-market-high-nvidia-ai-economic-divide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">have surged<\/a><\/span> on AI-driven gains, yet half of adults say the American dream is no longer attainable, according to a recent\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/america-at-250-opinion-poll-successes-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News poll<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Homeownership feels out of reach for many, with about nine in 10 adults under 40 saying it&#8217;s harder for them to purchase a home than it was for their parents&#8217; generation, according to a June Pew Research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2026\/06\/24\/buying-a-home-has-gotten-harder-for-young-adults-in-most-us-metro-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on wealth rather than income provides a clearer picture of what Americans can \u2014 or cannot \u2014 achieve financially, Aspen said. Liquid savings can help a household weather a short-term setback, while owning a home or other assets provides long-term investments that can aid in achieving goals like paying for a child&#8217;s education or retirement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wealth is not just a material thing,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;It gives you this peace of mind, agency, the ability to make decisions and choices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much wealth do I need to thrive?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As part of its research, Aspen also examined how much a typical household would need across different age groups to meet the &#8220;essential wealth&#8221; threshold. The findings show \u2014 unsurprisingly \u2014 that the amount of money required increases with age.<\/p>\n<p>People under 40 who meet the threshold for essential wealth have enough money to afford a down payment on an entry-level home, Aspen said. The figures for people who are 40 to 49 and 50 to 64 are based on median incomes, and could be higher or lower depending on a household&#8217;s income.<\/p>\n<p>Brown emphasized that the thresholds are a ballpark estimate of what people might need, and that they could change depending on income, location and other variables.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A household in California may need a higher number. A household in West Virginia or Mississippi may need a lower number, and so these can vary by place,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>So where do Americans actually stand? Across all age groups, Americans are failing to meet the threshold to achieve lasting financial security. Twenty-nine percent of those aged 65 and older meet the essential wealth criteria, the highest level of any group.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/aimee-picchi\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aimee  Picchi<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/essential-wealth-needed-thrive-by-age\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three in four Americans don&#8217;t have enough wealth to weather financial setbacks and achieve major life milestones, according to a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[7219,8059],"class_list":["post-90127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-money-watch","tag-homeowners","tag-wealth-gap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How much wealth do you need to thrive?
