Let’s talk about the dwindling state of American retirement.

According to the Federal Reserve, 26% of non-retired adults in the U.S. have no form of retirement savings.

Financial experts often recommend these age-based retirement savings benchmarks.

But for many Americans, hitting those savings goals isn't financially feasible, for a number of reasons.

Exhibit A: low median incomes and net worths.

Americans under 35:
• Median annual income: $48,600.
• Median net worth: $13,900.

Americans aged 65-74:
• Median annual income: $50,200
• Median net worth: $266,400
