This video is showcasing average 401k balances and median 401k balances in retirement accounts with Vanguard retirement services & Fidelity Investments.

All of this information comes from Vanguard 401k retirement survey & Fidelity Q3 IRA & 401k account balances. This is both the average and the median of these 401k retirement accounts. Keep in mind the average 401k retirement account size will be skewed because of the large 401k retirement accounts at the top and the small 401k retirement investing accounts at the bottom.

The median 401k balance is what we are going to focus on in this retirement video. Median 401k retirement investing account values gives us the figure that is right in the middle and is a better indicator for 401k retirement savings.

What this 401k retirement survey showed which was surprising is that 3 in 10 401k participants have 401k balances below $10,000. It also showed that 3 in 10 401k participants had 401k balances above $100,000.

The average 401k retirement contribution in this study was 7.3%. If you are trying to save for retirement, the actual percentage that you need to save to retire comfortably is 10 to 15% of your gross annual income.

Getting out of the race at 57. Have a great job and love it but love living my life with my wife and family more.

I respectfully disagree with the comment that you just begin burning out in the 60s.
First it may depend one’s job. I sit on my butt and program butt I did the same thing in my past and hated it and wished I could retire and I was in my 50s. I’m 66 now and still working because I choose to. I set a retirement date in mid 2023, and sticking to it because frankly, don’t want my best years to be working for a company. The key to In my opinion, is being financially ready to retire. I did early everything you’re hearing here. Ive been maxing out 401ks since inception. I didn’t find excuses to borrow it or tap it. Even when I felt I was broke. I woke up one day and through the miracle of compounding, had enough money to retire in my 50s. Lo and behold, this is when working became more fun.
Do what our man is telling us her. Buckle down and max out that 401k yearly. Invest in a couple of Indexes, then forget it exists.

It's funny, the cultural differences between your part of the country and the Pacific Northwest where I'm from. Your religious references are jarring. And talking about Trump like he's normal makes me wonder about Kentucky and Florida. But what you're encouraging young people to do financially is spot on, so more power to you in that department. Thanks for the video.
