Retirement bites. The oldest members of Generation X are swiftly approaching the traditional retirement age, but few are financially prepared for the next chapter, a new report finds.
Sandwiched between the larger baby boomer and millennial generations, Gen X typically doesn't get as much attention as its older and younger cohorts despite comprising around 20% of the population. But America needs to start paying attention: Born
between 1965 and 1980, the Gen Xers on the cusp of their seventh decade are, theoretically, just a few years away from leaving the workforce.
And according to new research, many are not prepared for a comfortable retirement. They have the largest wealth gap of any generation, according to the Schroders 2023 U.S. Retirement Survey. On average, these workers say it will take a bit over $1.1
million in savings to retire comfortably, but expect to have around $660,000 saved. Over 60% of non-retired Gen Xers are not confident in their ability to achieve a dream retirement, compared to 49% of millennials and 53% of baby boomers.

A million dollars is nothing these days.
Need at least 5 million and paid off house to have a comfortable retirement.
