According to a 2008 Pew Research Center survey, three out of every four Americans say they aren't saving enough. By age group, 83% of adults aged 18-29 report that they aren't saving enough, compared to 85% of 30-49 year-olds, 74% of 50-64, and 54% of those 65 and over. "Only a narrow majority (54%) of those ages 65 and older say they aren't saving enough, while more than a third (36%) of seniors say they are saving enough."
