Most workers who aren’t saving for retirement through their employers aren’t saving at all, the study found
New data suggests the average American worker has under $1,000 saved for retirement.
A report from the National Institute on Retirement Security found that the median savings for all employed adults between the ages of 21 and 64 were approximately $955. The study includes workers with 401(k) and other retirement savings plans, as well as the approximately 56 million workers who do not have access to employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Workers with retirement savings plans have a median balance of approximately $40,000 saved, according to the report. That figure is nowhere near the $1.5 million that Americans say they need to feel comfortable fully retiring.

You guys really need to get on with a revolution. Work until you die is kinda supposed to be something we are moving away from
Life expectancy keeps lowering so no need to worry about retirement.
oh thank god. Freedom from this awful system.
There’s social security, which does give seniors enough to exist, but not much else.
