A million dollars is not what it used to be.

Only 36% of American millionaires consider themselves wealthy in 2025, according to new research from Northwestern Mutual.

The finding comes from the 2025 Planning & Progress Study, updated in early November. It draws on a Harris Poll survey of 4,626 Americans, including 969 people with household investable assets greater than $1 million.

Even the wealthiest Americans worry about money, the study found. They fret about having enough of it, deciding how to spend it and whether to pass it on to heirs.

    Just work until you’re 80, then a million is plenty to get you through to either 90 or the first time you get sick.
