The 6 Levels of Wealth: Which One Are You (And How to Move Up)
from The Del Walmsley Radio Show · host Del Walmsley
"How do you move from one level to the next? You copy the people in the level above you. In each one of these levels, I could see myself at each level thinking differently than I did at the last level. And that's how I was able to move from one level to the next." What separates the wealthy elite from everyone else? Del Walmsley dissects a fascinating article from a CPA that breaks down the six distinct levels of wealth in America, from poverty to the elite 1%. But this isn't just about numbers—it's about the completely different mindsets and strategies that define each level. Del reveals the median net worth and income for each level, but more importantly, he explains the psychological shifts required to move up. Having personally climbed from the bottom to the top 1%, Del shares the critical moment when he realized that wealth isn't about earning more money—it's about owning assets that work for you. He exposes why most people get trapped at their current level and the specific actions needed to break through to the next tier.
