But in a survey of Fortune 500 chief human resource offices, they found a mismatch between what CHROs think employees want for their work schedule and what employees actually want. "For the past couple years, leaders have been working hard to woo remote workers back into the office," Pendell said. "That's likely put blender types in the forefront of their minds, even if blenders aren't necessarily the same as remote workers."

The key to a comfortable retirement may be saving $100 a week starting at 25. The chart below shows how much you can save up by putting away $400 a month starting on your 25th birthday, assuming that historically reasonable 7% annual return. Putting this into perspective, if people saved just $100 a month starting at 25, they'd save over $250,000 by 65 because of compounding interest. This jumps to over $550,000 when saving $50 a week starting at 25, which highlights Milken's suggestion to focus on "holistic life planning." About 25% of Americans lack retirement savings, while half have no access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, The Motley Fool reported based on data from the Federal Reserve.
