That was one thing that really stuck out to me. The examples the article used were of people with stable and good paying jobs, who worked in their industry for decades, yet their savings didn’t seem very high for their ages. One guy didn’t even start saving for retirement until age 53. I would be interested to know how they decided what to save for retirement and did the fact that they knew there was a pension impact their savings rate.
After the great retirement heists of the past, it’s hard to feel completely secure that they’ll exist in the future.
