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

— TX State Rep. @NicoleCollier95 (D)
@NicoleCollier95 Gov. Greg Abbott responds to TX Dems fleeing: “I can, and I will, continue to call special session after special session ..."

"As soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested, they will be cabined inside the Texas Capitol until they get their job done.”
