Abstract

The 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances shows how 401(k)/IRA saving fared from 2019-2022. The answer is not obvious given all that went on: COVID, economic disruption, seesawing markets, a huge fiscal response, and strong employment. The good news: for working households nearing retirement with a 401(k), median combined 401(k)/IRA balances rose from $144,000 to $204,000. The bad news: these gains for older savers were mainly among the higher income, and younger savers generally did not do well. Moreover, half of households do not even have a 401(k), so the overall news on retirement saving remains disappointing.
