[00:00:00]As you look at this, a very clear pattern emerges. Wealth doesn't build evenly over time. It accelerates hard later in life. We go from about 1% of households under 30 being millionaires to nearly 30% by the time you reach your mid-60s. That's the point where wealth concentration is at its highest. More than one in four households have crossed the million-dollar mark. And this is really the result of three powerful forces working together. Compounding, that's been working for decades. Time to get a home paid off. And people landing in their peak earning years. All of these three things are stacking on top of each other. So, as a reminder, this is not fast or easy money. This is decades of hard work and time doing the heavy lifting.
