Transamerica Institute’s CEO warns of a retirement ‘perfect storm’ as even affluent Americans fall short of the $2.6 million goal

It feels as if everyone is being stretched thin by today’s economy, and even some of the richest Americans are falling behind on retirement. Affluent Americans now say they need $2.6 million to retire comfortably—a 26% jump from just a year ago—according to newly released HSBC research conducted by Ipsos, which surveyed investors with at least $100,000 in investable assets. But on average, they’ve saved only 52% of that goal, and no generation is fully on track. Baby boomers, closest to retirement, have reached 74% of their target, while millennials lag at just 42%.
