The time between when people think
they should start saving for retirement
and when they actually do is known as the action gap.
According to a recent survey conducted by Prudential,
the average American starts saving for retirement
seven years later than they think is best.
This could cost you $410,676 in your lifetime.
Another Prudential study found that one in three Americans
is not saving enough for their retirement.
