Our research with Gallup reveals a confidence gap. Just over half of Americans (51%) are stuck in a financially conflicted middle ground. Surprisingly, even within the same income bands, financial experiences vary greatly. Some high earners feel stressed while some lower-income households feel secure and confident.
This shows that fulfillment can’t be reduced to a number. Instead, feeling prepared, having a plan and believing you’re on the right path are the biggest predictors of life satisfaction.
