Affluent Canadian Families Have a Running Start

The wealth advantage for Canada’s affluent starts at young age. Did you know that the wealthiest Canadian families in their twenties have an average net worth of over $500,000—more than middle class families manage to save over a lifetime. If these millionaire babies stay at the top, they’ll spend the rest of their lifetime accumulating even greater wealth, leaving their middle class contemporaries behind in their gold dust.

Check out our infographic below and learn more about the growing wealth gap in Canada—and what we can do to narrow it—in our report, The Wealth Advantage: The Growing Wealth Gap Between Canada’s Affluent and the Middle Class.
