Man, I though MacLean's was dead. I haven't see one of those in 25 years. But from the article:

Forty per cent of us in this age range have less than $5,000 in savings.

That's Canadians, aged 55-64. I expect younger generations will be no different. It's an awful lot of people, given the age demographic in the country.

> That's Canadians, aged 55-64.

And while this is a Maclean's article, so it is understandably focused on Canada, pretty much everything covered in the article is also relevant to Americans with similar numbers... but with the added shitshow that prior to age 65 you will have severe health insurance concerns if you are underemployed.
