The 2025 Financial Literacy and Preparedness Survey, conducted by The Harris Poll for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, revealed that 53% of respondents feel they are facing financial challenges. This statistic highlights the importance of understanding one’s financial standing and the various levels of wealth that individuals can attain.
Financial expert Ramit Sethi has identified seven distinct levels of wealth, each representing a different stage in financial literacy and preparedness. From basic financial stability to advanced wealth management, these levels provide a framework for individuals to assess their current financial situation and set goals for improvement.
The survey findings suggest that many people may be unaware of their financial capabilities or the resources available to them. As financial literacy becomes increasingly essential in today’s economy, understanding these levels can empower individuals to take control of their finances, make informed decisions, and ultimately achieve their financial goals.
