wealth accumulation
Amassing financial resources
Wealth accumulation is the process of building financial assets over time through saving, investing, and compounding returns.
The term appears frequently in discussions of retirement planning, inequality, and generational advantage: Tax policy affects wealth accumulation differently across income levels.
The phrase emphasizes gradual increase rather than sudden windfall.
