But the government and media sometimes likes to trick us into believing there is not.<\/p>\n<p>Government data says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/average-american-household-is-a-millionaire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">median net worth in America<\/a> is around $200,000. Meanwhile, the media keeps highlighting financial struggles, convincing us there\u2019s a looming retirement crisis. But what gets overlooked is the tremendous wealth built over the past few decades\u2014thanks to saving, investing, and riding the greatest bull market in history.<\/p>\n<p>Enter: the rise of everyday middle-class multi-millionaires.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, what?\u00a0<em>Middle class<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>multi-millionaire<\/em>\u00a0in the same sentence? Sounds like an oxymoron, right? But I assure you, they exist\u2014and in far greater numbers than most people realize. <\/p>\n<p>During the consulting promotion for my USA TODAY bestseller\u00a0<em><strong><a aria-label=\"Millionaire Milestones (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Millionaire Milestones<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, I had the privilege of speaking with some of them. Maybe I&#8217;ll get to speak to you too as the promotion runs until June 15. Details below.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-280371\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why \u201cMiddle Class\u201d and \u201cMulti-Millionaire\u201d Can Coexist<\/h2>\n<p>The confusion comes from how we define wealth. Most people, especially those outside the personal finance community, equate wealth with income. The more you make, the richer you are, so they say.<\/p>\n<p>I have indisputable proof: a 2025 Bloomberg article written by four journalists analyzed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/income-limit-to-qualify-for-college-scholarships-grants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who qualifies for free college financial aid\u00a0<em>solely<\/em> based on income<\/a>. Not once did they mention assets or net worth in their evaluation. That blew my mind. <\/p>\n<p>These were smart journalists from elite schools\u2014Texas, Duke, USC, and Columbia\u2014writing for a major publication. There\u2019s no way I, or my children, could get into any of these schools. Yet somehow, they missed a fundamental component of what truly defines wealth.<\/p>\n<p>When society talks about the \u201cmiddle class,\u201d it&#8217;s usually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/definitions-of-a-middle-class-income-do-you-consider-yourself-middle-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referring to income<\/a>. In 2025, the median household income is around $80,000. One could define a middle-class income as anything +\/- 50% of the median, or $40,000 \u2013 $120,000 in this case. For a family of three, the top of the middle class is about $188,400, inflation-adjusted. In contrast, the top 10% of earners in 2024 had to make at least $235,000 according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2024\/09\/16\/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pew Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In expensive cities like San Francisco or New York, a family of four might need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/living-a-middle-class-lifestyle-on-300000-year-expensive-city\/\">$300,000\u2013$350,000 just to\u00a0<em>feel<\/em>\u00a0middle class<\/a>. People balk at that range, but the budget math doesn\u2019t lie in my post. Thanks to inflation, life is only going to get more expensive over time. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personal-finance-enthusiasts-think-mostly-in-net-worth\">Personal Finance Enthusiasts Think Mostly In Net Worth<\/h2>\n<p>Those of us who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/million-dollar-mindset-of-personal-finance-enthusiasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passionate about financial independence<\/a> don\u2019t only define wealth by income\u2014we prefer to define it by\u00a0<em>net worth<\/em> (assets minus liabilities). Income takes effort and gets taxed heavily. But growing investments? That builds wealth quietly, consistently, and tax-efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>As we age and become less eager to trade time for money, net worth becomes the more meaningful metric. Our investments are what will generate enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/ranking-the-best-passive-income-investments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passive income to live free<\/a>. And with enough time, discipline, and smart investing, it\u2019s very possible to become a middle-class multi-millionaire\u2014even without ever earning a huge salary.<\/p>\n<p>Let me share the story of one such person: Luis, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/career-personal-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consulting client<\/a> who has averaged <em>under<\/em> a $100,000 income in his 30+-year career. He enthusiastically encouraged me to share his financial profile to you to show what\u2019s possible. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s his Social Security statement that shows his historical earnings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"879\" height=\"1176\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-social-security.png\" alt=\"The Rise Of Everyday Middle-Class Multi-Millionaires\" class=\"wp-image-280378\" style=\"width:720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-social-security.png?fit=1456,9999 879w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-social-security-262x350.png?fit=1456,9999 262w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-social-security-374x500.png?fit=1456,9999 374w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-social-security-768x1027.png?fit=1456,9999 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-net-worth-composition\"><strong>Net Worth Composition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Despite averaging less than $100,000 a year during his career, Luis is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/how-youll-feel-reaching-various-millionaire-milestones-1m-5m-10m-20m\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-millionaire<\/a> with a net worth of around $4.8 million! That\u2019s at least $1 million more than I expected for a man in his late 50s, just by reviewing his Social Security statement.<\/p>\n<p>His family\u2019s total assets amount to $6,090,000, offset by a $1,439,000 mortgage. He also has about $235,000 set aside for his children\u2019s college education.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from his net worth breakdown, real estate has been his primary driver of wealth. Luis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/real-estate-is-my-favorite-investment-asset-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bought properties<\/a> once he started earning a steady income and held onto them for decades. With real estate, much like stocks, the longer you hold, the more wealth you can generally build.<\/p>\n<p>Luis\u2019s second major wealth engine has been his disciplined contributions to his retirement accounts, especially his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/the-only-reasons-to-ever-contribute-to-a-roth-ira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roth IRA<\/a>. Unlike me, Luis was eligible to contribute to a Roth for many years thanks to his middle-class income. Now, he\u2019ll be able to withdraw from it tax-free for the rest of his life. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Ranch <\/td>\n<td>$1,950,000\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rental Property 1 =\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>$1,188,300\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rental Property 2 =<\/td>\n<td>$947,300\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Luis&#8217; Roth IRA =<\/td>\n<td>$1,386,237\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Luis&#8217; IRA =<\/td>\n<td>$257,920\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wife&#8217;s Roth IRA =<\/td>\n<td>$360,367\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Assets<\/td>\n<td>$6,090,124\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-power-of-being-a-middle-class-multi-millionaire-total-income-is-actually-much-greater\"><strong>The Power of Being a Middle-Class Multi-Millionaire: Total Income Is Actually Much Greater<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One final variable to highlight is Luis\u2019s total income. While his base salary as a patent examiner is $130,000, his actual income is significantly higher thanks to his additional income streams. No wonder he\u2019s able to comfortably provide for six children\u2014his total income is closer to $365,000.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Yearly Income:<\/td>\n<td\/>\n<td>%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>US Patent &amp; Trademark Office =<\/td>\n<td>$130,000\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>USMC Retirement =\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>$71,700\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>VA Disability (tax free) =<\/td>\n<td>$37,200\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rental 1  =<\/td>\n<td>$64,800\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rental 2  =<\/td>\n<td>$40,200\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cell tower lease payment =<\/td>\n<td>$10,800\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ranch income (variable) =\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>$10,000\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Income = <\/td>\n<td>$364,700\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In addition to his day job, Luis earns substantial rental income from his properties, cell tower income from his farm, a pension from the United States Marine Corps, and VA disability benefits. An impressive 65% of Luis&#8217;s total income comes from passive income, which is taxed more efficiently. Incredible. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t underestimate the value of working for the government. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/how-do-i-calculate-the-value-of-my-pension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pension is far more valuable<\/a> than it appears at first glance. For example, to generate $71,700 a year in passive income at a 4% yield, you\u2019d need $1,792,500 in investments. <\/p>\n<p>If you include the present value of his pension and other benefits, Luis\u2019s net worth could be <strong>closer to $6.4 million<\/strong> rather than $4.8 million.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-long-term-asset-ownership-is-key-to-becoming-a-multi-millionaire\">Long-Term Asset Ownership Is Key To Becoming A Multi-Millionaire<\/h2>\n<p>The rise of the middle-class multi-millionaire will only continue as more people steadily invest over time. Luis is a great example. By serving his country and steadily building wealth for over 30 years, he\u2019s now financially set for life.<\/p>\n<p>His final financial goal is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/triple-benefit-of-paying-off-your-mortgage-early\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pay off his mortgage<\/a> before he retires from his retirement job. Together, we\u2019ve created a game plan that uses income from his various sources\u2014along with strategic Roth IRA withdrawals\u2014to eliminate his remaining debt. Since he enjoys his job and plans to keep working for several more years, I have no doubt he\u2019ll achieve this goal within the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>With six children, Luis is also committed to helping them achieve financial independence as well. That deep sense of purpose and motivation is one of the greatest blessings of all.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to become a multi-millionaire, you must consistently save and invest in assets that have historically appreciated over time. Real estate and stocks should be your bread and butter. And if you want, you can allocate up to 10% \u2013 20% of your capital into alternative assets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/venture-capital-investing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">venture capital<\/a>, cryptocurrency, fine art, etc. <\/p>\n<p>As Luis has shown, you don\u2019t need a massive income\u2014just the discipline to save and invest steadily. Over a 30+ year period, I firmly believe the vast majority of middle-class earners can achieve millionaire status in their lifetimes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1182\" height=\"1582\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos.png\" alt=\"Middle-class multi-millionaires - Luis and his children with Millionaire Milestones book\" class=\"wp-image-280402\" style=\"width:720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos.png?fit=1456,9999 1182w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos-262x350.png?fit=1456,9999 262w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos-374x500.png?fit=1456,9999 374w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos-768x1028.png?fit=1456,9999 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/financialsamurai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/luis-kiddos-1148x1536.png?fit=1456,9999 1148w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1182px) 100vw, 1182px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Luis&#8217;s kiddos posing with a copy of Millionaire Milestones: Simple Steps To Seven Figures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Readers, are you a middle-class multi-millionaire?
