The Average Savings In The USA May SHOCK You

💲 NEED FINANCIAL ADVICE? 💲
1) Google "fee-only financial adviser" or visit www.NAPFA.org (largest association of fee-only financial advisers). NOT an affiliate link
2) The first question to ask any financial adviser is, "Are you a fiduciary to me 100% of the time". Get the answer in writing
3) Please note that some people call themselves "fee-based". This is NOT the same as fee-only. Fee-only advisers have committed to being fiduciary to you 100% of the time.
4) Personally, I would only hire an adviser who is a fiduciary to me 100% of the time. This is not a suggestion on what you should do. Just sharing my personal preference.

⚠️ Azul's "Scammer" Warning ➡ PLEASE READ! ⚠️
Be careful of scammers. In the comments section, I will NEVER ask you to contact me, offer any investment products, recommend a stock broker, or anything similar. Some scam bot commenters 'ask' for investment help, and later, other comment bots reply with "how great X idea/investment/person is" in the replies. These are scam threads. Do not fall for them.

🚨 Azul's VIDEOS ARE NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE (Disclaimer) 🚨

The decisions on how to invest, when to retire, and other financial planning topics are some of the most important financial decisions you will make in your life. I urge you to seek professional financial advice as you make this decision. Ideally, from a financial adviser, AND a CPA AND an attorney. Having the perspective of all three professions will help you make the right decision for you and your family.

This information is being presented without consideration of the investment objectives, risk tolerance, or financial circumstances of any specific investor and may NOT be suitable for all investors.

This information is NOT intended to, and should NOT, form a primary basis for any investment decision that you may make. Always consult your own legal, tax, and/or investment advisor before making any investment/tax/estate/financial planning considerations or decisions.

Spoiler Alert: There are no "get rich" programs. Rather, just basic blocking & tackling and putting in time and care. Do your homework, choose wisely and (IMHO) work with experienced professionals who are fiduciary to you 100% of the time.

That is crazy, I guess they think they’ll live off social security 😢

Why say your in good company if you have nothing saved. I'm in Canada, not sure if it's better up here, but frankly a big fail if you worked all your life and have nothing, come on these people get what they deserve, live below your means. Enjoy your alpo in

58 skate and donate with $725k in the 401k and $158k in a cash balance plan pension. Looking to retire at the end of the year. Started saving at the age of 30 every paycheck. SS at 62 = $2300 a month. I'm done!!

If 60% have less than $10k how does 80% have $100k or less ?

What is the range of age of these 50% of people that have nothing saved? When I graduated from college I had nothing in my bank account. Now that I'm approaching retirement I have built up my net worth. Although I do know a few people my age that have nothing saved for retirement and still rent.

Not sure I get this if half have zero and then 80% have 100k is that 80% of the other half have 100k or less
