Forget the Average Retirement Savings for Americans. Here's a Better Way to Set Yourself Up for a Comfortable Retirement.
The average retirement savings in the U.S. is $333,945, according to data from the Federal Reserve. But this paints an inaccurate picture of what the typical worker has. Averages are easily skewed by a few high earners.
Median statistics are generally more useful to look at, and in this case, they're much lower -- just $87,000. But even this is little more than an interesting statistic.
It doesn't matter if you have more or less saved than the average American. If you want to retire comfortably, you need to build a retirement plan just for you.
