Do Americans' Retirement Savings Match Their Expectations?
A 2026 Planning & Progress Study by Northwestern Mutual revealed that Americans believe they will need $1.46 million to retire comfortably. It's a somewhat remarkable figure, considering the median household retirement savings for 65- to 74-year-olds is $200,000.
Americans' savings do not match the amount they expect to need in retirement. However, given the more modest savings most retirees have amassed, it's surprising that a large percentage of retirees say they're doing fine financially.
