That feels like a false standard by which to measure, don’t you think?
If say someone has $2 million at age 25, would they be any less wealth than someone at 65 with $2 million? In other words, the desire or the need to continue to work for the 25 year old should not change ones factual perception of wealth.
Or, if one wants to use that standard then they should compare themselves to other 25 year olds and not to the rest of the population. Certainly retirees are by their very nature, generally the wealthiest age-based group.
