"Over one-third of GenXers report having saved less than $10,000."

You guys have savings?

In your 50s you'd honestly want a lot more than that. And many, many don't. It's terrifying for end of work life ahead.

41 here.....no home, no savings. Work till you die, then get written up for insubordination for choosing to go to your own funeral instead of coming in.

End of work life? What's that? You guys get to stop working before you die?
