Summary

New Gallup research from Edward Jones indicates that nearly seven in 10 Americans earning over $135,000 annually are not financially fulfilled, with 1 in 5 high earners feeling "depressed" about their finances. This phenomenon, termed "money dysmorphia," suggests a disconnect between actual financial reality and perception, often exacerbated by social media and lifestyle creep.
