What are your plans? I know some of us are near or past retirement age. Here's data I found on savings amounts:

Net Worth Distribution (including homes) (Ages 65–74) from SCF (2022)

Percentile Net Worth ($)
10th $10,000
25th $94,000
50th (Median) $409,900
75th $1.17 million
90th $3.3 million


Retirement Account Balances (401(k), IRA, etc.) for Ages 65+ (Vanguard, 2023)

Percentile Retirement Savings ($)
10th $10,000
25th $32,000
50th (Median) $87,700
75th $280,000
90th $861,000


SCF = Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances

I think we should make dog food out of the elderly that didn't plan well.

this is the beginning of the end?

Hmm. How many millions will it take to retire? Trump is trying to make it so you can never retire, so you have to keep paying taxes so his financial model works.

Am I getting that right?
