Gen Z has WILDLY different ideas on wealth and that's why they voted for Trump/Musk [View all]
American generations have wildly different views on wealth according to a survey conducted 7 weeks before the election, in September this year. Voronoi is a relatively new website that presents data in graphic format. Unfortunately, Kos wont let me upload the graphic, so you will have to go here to see it: www.voronoiapp.com/
Boomers think about a million dollars in net worth represents financial success. Gen Z thinks you have to have 9.5 million dollars to be financially successful.
The question asked: Thinking about an annual salary (e.g., the money you earn at a job per year) and an "all in" dollar amount (e.g., your overall net worth), how much money would it take for you to be financially successful?
No wonder Gen Z voters, the ones who swung overwhelmingly from Biden to Trump in November, are so frustrated and hopeless feeling. Gen Z respondents thought the minimum annual salary to represent financial success was $588K per year. Boomers, $100K. Gen X, $212K and Millennials (the ones so many thought were so spoiled, $181K.
The actual average salary in the US is just under $64K per year. The average net worth, $1.1 million.
