Here's the Average Retirement Savings Balance by Age
The average retired worker on Social Security today collects about $23,000 per year. That's not a bad amount of supplemental income, but it's not a lot to live on by itself.
That's why it's so important to save for retirement consistently throughout your career. If you manage to bring a decent-sized nest egg with you into retirement, you stand to enjoy a more comfortable, stress-free lifestyle (at least from a financial perspective).
