Vanguard's "How America Saves" report is an annual publication that provides comprehensive insights into the retirement savings behavior of Americans. The report is based on data from millions of participants in Vanguard-administered 401k and 403b retirement plans. It covers various aspects of retirement savings, including participation rates, savings rates, account balances, asset allocations, loan usage, and more.

Key features of the report include:

Participant Demographics: Information on the age, income, and tenure of participants in DC plans.
Contribution Behavior: Data on how much participants are contributing to their retirement plans, including employee and employer contributions.
Investment Choices: Analysis of how participants are allocating their investments among different asset classes.
Account Balances: Trends in the average and median balances of participant accounts.
Loan and Withdrawal Behavior: Insights into how participants are using plan loans and making withdrawals.
Automatic Plan Features: The impact of automatic enrollment, automatic escalation, and target-date funds on participant behavior.
Plan Design and Participant Outcomes: How the design of retirement plans influences savings behavior and outcomes.
The report serves as a valuable resource for employers, policymakers, and researchers to understand trends in retirement savings and to help design better retirement plans that can improve the financial security of American workers.

Thank you for explaining Median vs Average. I still see a lot of people only focusing on the average.

Absolutely love watching your videos. I've done my best to be a super saver for years. I'm right there with you at 100% index funds.

Two things I love about having a 401K is that usually you get matching from the company (5% in my case) and my contributions are automatically taken out.

Most people aren't saving or investing at all. It's pretty sad
