Income and Wealth
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Income is money received over a period; wealth is the total value of assets held, minus debts, accumulated over time and across generations.
Show
A high earner with student debt may hold negative wealth; a modest earner who inherited property may hold a great deal.
Watch for
Students often mistake a high salary for wealth, or read income statistics as though they measured accumulated assets.
