Americans' workplace retirement account balances are growing — but they're still lower than what people say they need to be on track for retirement, new data reveals. The median account balance in the U.S. is now $35,286, according to Vanguard's annual How America Saves report, which tracked the performance of 401(k)s and similar plans in 2023. Some of the lower balance totals have to do with age, too: People often make and save less money earlier in their careers. "People tend to accelerate retirement contributions as they get older because they tend to earn more, but also because they're getting closer to retirement age," says Michelle Gessner, a certified financial planner in Houston.

A majority of them don't think they'll ever have enough money to buy property, recent data finds. In fact, 66% of U.S. renters say rising home prices have them feeling "hopeless" about owning a home, according to a survey by online brokerage Home Bay of 1,000 renters. With median home prices up 33% since January 2020, 77% of renters say the U.S. has an affordable housing crisis. While 51% of renters consider owning a home to be a "very important" financial milestone, survey respondents were more likely to select other achievements as priorities. Rising housing costs are an issue in the rental market too, as nearly 1 in 4 renters say they currently spend 50% or more of their income on rent.
