Early Retirement - Financial Freedom (Investing, Tax Planning, Retirement Strategy, Personal Finance)

What's The Average 401(k) Balance At My Age? Am I On Track?

Think you know how much people save for retirement?

The median American over 65 has just $100,000 saved, yet the average household spends $57,000 a year in retirement, with $20,000 going to housing alone. The math doesn’t work.

At Root Financial, most clients retire with $2–3M and plan to spend $100K–$200K annually. That’s not about bragging. It’s a reminder that if you’re here, you’re likely already thinking beyond the basics.

Rules like “save 10%” or “withdraw 3%” don’t fit everyone. The difference between struggling and thriving often comes down to advanced planning—tax strategy, investment allocation, Roth conversions, and estate design. For many, the real risk isn’t running out of money, it’s missing opportunities out of excessive caution.

Know where you stand relative to the averages and to your own vision.
