5:40 am
than $1,000. now, that includes a lot of people just starting out. as you get older retirement savings increase as income goes up so does your retirement savings. but here's something interesting. as education increases, so too do retirement resources. >> and with retirement savings low, what plan b is there for all of us americans? >> reporter: well, respondents say they are relying on a later retirement date. now, back in 1991, just 11% of workers said they would retire at age 65. this year, that number is more than tripled. 36% of workers. just a word of caution here. working longer always sounds like the great solution. what happens if your boss has not bought into your plan b? or you have a job that's too physically demanding to continue later in life? for more on how to take control of your retirement plan go to jillonmoney.com. >> or buy a lot of lotto tickets and pray. >> yeah. >> see how well that works. >> not too well. jill schlesinger live for us
