Social media has convinced people that making $100K means you’re struggling.


Meanwhile, millions of people are raising families on far less, and many retirees finish their careers with under $250K saved.
Then reality shows up.
Typical retirement savings:
• Ages 35–44: about $50K
• Ages 45–54: around $120K
• Ages 55–64: roughly $210K
• Ages 65–74: about $195K
• Ages 75+: close to $135K
Median annual pay is still only around $65K.
Online discourse has drifted a long way from how most people actually live.
