About half of Americans have zero retirement savings
2 comments

Virtually no one under the age of 18 has any. So that's a lot of Americans. Should they have any?
this while factually correct probably requires age distribution. I did not have a penny saved for retirement until I hit mid-to-late-30's. I am 50 now and can retire comfortably today
The median for ages 45-54 is 115,000, for 55-64 185,000
