I wonder how many are truly preparing for retirement
How many make even the smallest 2-5% retirement savings.
Parental bailouts are real. Anticipating an inheritance weighs into behaviors also.
Not having a savings account of a significance (3 months of expenses) seems to be common too.

I think you underestimate the ability to roll debts forward and the length of time they can be delayed…
