<p>A few decades ago, you'd made it if you hit that magic million-dollar mark. You were rich. These days, though, with skyrocketing costs and social media awash with luxury-laden highlights, it can feel like everyone's got a cool million in their back pocket. The truth? That's more illusion than reality. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37520117/dave-ramsey-reveals-people-arent-as-well-off-as-you-think-8-out-of-10-people-probably-cant-affor">financial guru Dave Ramsey put it</a>: "8 out of 10 people probably can't afford the home they're living in and the car they're driving."</p>

<li><strong>Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —</strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"><strong> </strong><strong>here&#8217;s a breakdown on how on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/100k-cd"><strong>$100K Sitting In A CD Account, Should I Move Money Into The Stock Market?</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Social media tends to amplify what looks like wealth, leading to this widespread perception that everyone's swimming in money. But peek behind the scenes and it's clear that not as many people are flush with cash as it seems. So, let's break it down – how many Americans have a net worth of $1 million or more?</p>
<p><strong>Spoiler Alert: It's Not As Many As You'd Think</strong></p>
<p>According to the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances by the Federal Reserve, only about 12% of U.S. households have a net worth over $1 million. This means that the vast majority – 88% – are nowhere near that level. Keep in mind that this is "household" net worth, which likely assumes a two-person income and combined assets.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wealth is highly concentrated and while the average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/23/12/36078165/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-m">U.S. household net worth is $1.06 million</a>, the median net worth is much lower, at $192,700. Translation: A few very wealthy households are driving up the average but most people are much closer to that median number.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: ‘Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' —</strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots"><strong> this platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.38% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>Where Are the Millionaires?</strong></p>
<p>Certain states and age groups stand out for context. New Jersey, for instance, has the highest rate of millionaire households – about 9.76% of homes there have a net worth over $1 million. Age-wise, those between 65 and 74 have the highest average net worth at $1.2 million but the median for that same group is just $266,400. In other words, while some retirees have saved a bundle, many are just getting by.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">401(k) balances tell a similar story</a>. The average 401(k) balance for Americans aged 65 and older is $272,588 but the median is just $88,488 – meaning half of people have less than that amount saved.</p>
<p><strong>What Does It Mean to Have $1 Million?</strong></p>
<p>A net worth of $1 million isn't the same as having that amount sitting in the bank. Net worth includes assets like home equity, investments and retirement accounts – things that aren't easily converted to cash. And with inflation driving up living costs, many Americans now consider $2.2 million the new minimum to feel "wealthy."</p>
<p><strong>See Also: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv"><strong>The percentage may shock you</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Are We All Millionaires Yet?</strong></p>
<p>The short answer is no, not even close. And while social media may make it seem like everyone else is living in luxury, the reality is far more modest. In fact, most people are still trying to build their financial safety nets, making those few million-dollar net worthy seem rare and impressive.</p>
<p>Next time you scroll through someone's highlight reel, remember: what you see is just that – a highlight.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to hit that million-dollar mark yourself, it's less about flash and more about patience and steady saving. Say you're 35 and you've got $20,000 already saved. Assuming an average annual return of 7% – a common benchmark for long-term investments – you'd need to save around $5,000 a year or about $417 a month to reach $1 million by age 65. If you increase that amount as your income grows, you'll reach your goal even sooner. The key is consistency, letting time and compounding work their magic.</p>
<p>Of course, this is just one scenario and everyone's situation differs. The best way to map out your path is by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">talking to a financial advisor</a>.

Can You Guess What Percent Of People Have $1 Million Saved? Spoiler Alert – It's Far Lower Than Most Statistics Lead You To Believe

<p>In the current market session, <strong>AeroVironment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVAV#NASDAQ">AVAV</a>)</strong> share price is at $205.00, after a <strong>0.37%</strong> spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by <strong>7.54%</strong>, but in the past year, increased by <strong>56.33%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. </p>
<p>

<h3>A Look at AeroVironment P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>AeroVironment has a better P/E ratio of <strong>97.73</strong> than the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>80.64</strong> of the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry. Ideally, one might believe that AeroVironment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731702712_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
