It's the chart of the decade and you didn't post it? For shame!
It really IS horrific. How can anyone over 65 hope to survive to, say, 85 when they've only got $170,000 them through all of those years???
Unbelievable. In the 1984 chart, folks age 65 had $120,000 - but the buying power of that money was probably 3 or 4 times what it is today. So, it was like having $450,000. Coupled with Social Security, it *might* be enough.
Today's 65 year olds may as well plan on storing a bullet with their savings. At the end of their lives, when the money is gone, they'll be needing it.
I don't even want to think about the course that todays 35 year olds are on.
