The wealth equation as determined by Stanley and Danko, "The Millionaire Next Door" is as follows:
Expected Wealth Status = [(Age * Average Pretax Household Annual Income)/10] - Inherited Wealth
Inherited wealth is any sum of income that has been recieved from a dead relative or even a large winning such as lottery.
For Example: If you are 30 years old and you have averaged $30,000 per year over working lifetime and have no inherited wealth:
(30 * $30,000)/10 - $0.00= $90,000
