How much do you need?
How much money would it take for you to feel financially secure?
According to a new Bankrate survey, for nearly half of Americans, the answer is at least $100,000 a year. The study found that 45% of U.S. adults say they’d need a six-figure income just to feel comfortable. But some people have more expensive tastes, and more than a quarter of respondents said they'd need 150,000 or more. Some even said they’d need $500,000 or even $1 million annually to feel truly “rich.”
Either way, the majority of Americans need more money. 77% said they do not feel financially secure right now, which is up from 75% last year.
