Household Net Worth Interpretation

The American wealth ladder shows a brutally efficient design: you start young and buried in student debt, then spend decades furiously climbing past home equity, dual incomes, and 401(k)s, only to discover the top rungs—where wealth finally compounds into genuine security—are reserved for those who were older, whiter, married, and already owning assets when the music of low rates and bull markets began to play.
