“Biggs disagrees. To prove his point, the economist looked at responses to the federal Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking between 2019 and 2022. The survey asked retirement-age Americans, 65 to 74, how well they were managing financially. A majority, roughly 85%, said they were just fine: They were living comfortably, or at least ‘doing OK.’ Only 15% said they were struggling. The finding matters, Biggs says, because most retirees have much less than $1 million in the bank. In the federal survey, the typical senior who reported a satisfactory retirement had $50,000 to $100,000 in savings.”
