Maybe by then (one's retirement) the average American will perceive "wealthy" as having $4million in net worth.

If I understand right, this is the perception right now, not in the future. Probably then it will be higher.

That sounds likely. Inflation and all that.

Would also be interesting to know if people in general even count 401k as “wealth”. I feel like it occupies a different bracket in many people’s minds.
