@humphreytalks: Here are the average and median 401k balances, by age, in 2026. Did this surprise you? Data comes from Vanguard’s latest “How America Saves” report. #EduTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #LearnOnTikTok #edutokcontest
I’m financially literate. I’ve rolled my 401ks into IRAs when I’ve left companies. I’m 35 with 600k+ in retirement but my 401k wouldn’t indicate that.

Literally no one has extra thousands to "save", sitting around in some account for years later. Why lock it up in a account when you could use it to enjoy life young

That’s just what’s reported in individual 401ks. If they have not consolidated 401ks from old employers instead of looking at the combined value of 1 persons single 401k it could be separating out two 401ks owned by the same person. Or if they rolled it over into an IRA there’s no data on that either.

Btw, the word average can be very misleading, it just takes 1 person out of 5 to have around 500k in their 401k for it to be $120,000

One thing I disagree with. You should not be comparing what you spend today to what you spend at retirement. Your Retirment should be significantly lower. If its not. than you screwed up somewhere! However, you should account for inflation on THE BASICS. You can always tweak the "luxury" things but basics have to be bought/maintained no matter what!

x25 was the old number. From 2020-2024, the US faced a cumulative inflation of over 21%. That's supposed to take AT LEAST a decade.

I hear a lot of advice on numbers on specific accounts, but what if at the end of it all, I have a projected 2.5M spread around multiple accounts?
