Tldr:
Older gen Zers, with memories of the 2009-10 financial crisis, are saving more, but experts say employers should help

Research published at the end of last year by the Investment Company Institute with help from the University of Chicago found that gen Z – those born between 1997 and 2012 – are “outpacing” earlier generations in contributing to retirement, having more than three times more assets in their 401(k) retirement savings accounts than gen X households had at the same time in 1989, adjusted for inflation.
I presume this will be used to justify cutting state pensions when the boomers have died off
The reward for playing the game in a way to protect yourself, as always, is the rules changing to fuck you over anyway.
