Retirement savings haven’t recovered from the recession. Some say 401(k) plans are a 'disaster.'
Then, many of those who do have such accounts do not have sufficient funds to cover their retirement.
That's because workers choose how much money they put in 401 accounts. And when a downturn hits, the temptation is to pull back on savings or withdraw money from those accounts.In 2016, the median-age working family had just $7,800 in retirement savings.percentile for wealth had $320,000 put away. And for those in the top 1%, those balances climbed to $1.7 million or more.
That's a big difference from the median retirement savings of $7,800, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
