Find your level
Where you are on the Wealth Ladder, measured by net worth, changes what matters most. Work out your level.
| Level | Net worth | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Paycheck to paycheck | Under $10,000 | Starter Runway, clear expensive debt, raise your income |
| 2. Grocery freedom | $10,000 to $100,000 | Automate saving, take the full 401(k) match, start the Engine |
| 3. Restaurant freedom | $100,000 to $1 million | Let compounding work; income still matters more than returns |
| 4. Travel freedom | $1 million to $10 million | Protect what you have; plan taxes and the Bridge |
| 5. Geographic freedom | $10 million to $100 million | Estate planning, giving, using money while there is time |
| 6. Impact freedom | Over $100 million | Stewardship and impact |
The Wealth Ladder and its level names are Nick Maggiulli's, from his book The Wealth Ladder (2025) and his blog Of Dollars And Data.
