HOUSTON, March 12, 2024--More than half (54%) of Americans say it’s their goal to live to 100, according to a new study from Corebridge Financial and The Longevity Project. Family, friends and new experiences are seen as the top benefits of a very long life, with 72% of respondents citing continued meaningful relationships with family and friends and 65% looking for more time to explore and have new experiences.
Nearly 70% of Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck. How are they supposed to save up or invest? One medical emergency could wipe out all that imaginary savings too.
That’s not correct, the median savings account is $8000

You’re not living paycheck to paycheck if you have $8000 saved, even if you spend your entire paycheck

Yeah, so that’s not 70%
