Achieving Financial Security in a DisruptED World

In the wake of a tumultuous economic climate, the conversation around financial security has never been more relevant. A recent survey by Bankrate reveals that Americans believe they need to earn an average of $233,000 per year to feel financially secure, a figure significantly higher than the average earnings of a full-time worker in 2021, which was about $75,000. The survey also shows that only 28% of Americans feel entirely financially secure, with high inflation, the economic environment, and rising interest rates cited as the main obstacles to financial comfort.
