    A recent study by Fidelity Investments found that 45% of people aged 18 to 35 “don’t see a point in saving until things return to normal.” In that same age group, 55% said they put retirement planning on hold during the pandemic.

    Who are all these 18-35 people who have retirement plans? Where did they poll these people from?

      I mean, I’m one of them. There is a pretty significant number of 25-35 years old professionals who start banking into retirement almost immediately.

      Pretty much everyone I went to college with, though I won’t pretend that’s a representative sample at all due to the college in question.

      Still, there’s a lot of tech and finance workers out there.
