This Is What Whales Are Betting On Okta

Imagine sitting on a beach, the waves gently lapping at the shore as you sip on a drink with a tiny umbrella. That's the $2 million retirement dream—financial freedom to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">enjoy your golden years in style</a>. But how many people actually reach that goal?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spoiler Alert: It's a Tiny Fraction</h2>
The dream of retiring with $2 million is just that for most—a dream. According to Federal Reserve, only about 3.2% of retirees have over $1 million saved. And if you're aiming for the $2 million club? Well, the number is even smaller. We're talking about a sliver of a sliver—somewhere between that 3.2% and the razor-thin 0.1% who have $5 million or more.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does $2 Million Stack Up Against Average Savings?</h2>
For most Americans, $2 million is far out of reach. According to the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">2022 Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances</a>, the latest available data, the average retirement savings for different age groups shows just how few people come close to that milestone:
<ul>
<li>Under 35: $49,130</li>
<li>35 to 44: $141,520</li>
<li>45 to 54: $313,220</li>
<li>55 to 64: $537,560</li>
<li>65 to 74: $609,230</li>
<li>75 and older: $462,410</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Do You Need to Save Monthly to Hit $2 Million?</h2>
If you're aiming for $2 million by age 72, how much do you actually need to save every month? The earlier you start, the easier it is.
Starting at 25, you'd need to save about $490 per month assuming a 7% annual return (the historical average of the S&amp;P 500).
Waiting until 30, that number jumps to $700 per month.
Starting at 35, you're looking at $1,008 per month.
By 40, you'd need to put away around $1,465 per month.
At 45, the number climbs to $2,169 per month—which is where many people start feeling the pressure.
The later you wait, the harder it gets. This is why early investing is key.
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Sets the $2 Million Achievers Apart?</h2>
<ol>
<li>Early Start – Time is your best friend when it comes to retirement savings. The earlier you begin, the less you have to save each month to hit your goal.</li>
<li>Consistency – Regular contributions, even when the market is down, matter. Sticking to a long-term savings plan is key.</li>
<li>Professional Guidance – Many high-net-worth retirees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consult financial advisors</a> to optimize their investments, reduce tax burdens, and ensure their money lasts. Working with a certified financial planner can help you develop a strategy tailored to your goals.</li>
<li>Smart Investing – Long-term investments in stocks, index funds, and ETFs historically outperform savings accounts. Those who reach $2 million put their money to work.</li>
<li>Higher Income, Higher Savings – The top 10% of households have an average of $769,000 saved for retirement. Earning more makes hitting $2 million more achievable.</li>
<li>Education Matters – College graduates tend to have more than three times the retirement savings of those with just a high school diploma. Higher income potential leads to greater savings.</li>
<li>Homeownership Helps – Homeownership plays a major role in retirement readiness and overall financial security, and the numbers prove it. According to USA Today, the median net worth of renters is just $10,400, while homeowners have a median net worth of $400,000—a staggering 3,746% more.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is $2 Million Even Enough?</h2>
Here's the real question—if you hit $2 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43769106/2-million-is-pennies-suze-orman-says-if-you-think-youll-be-able-to-survive-on-80000-a-year-in-retirement-ive-got-a-bridge-to-sell-you">will it be enough</a>? That depends on where you live, your expenses, healthcare costs, and lifestyle. For some, it might be more than enough. For others, it could just scratch the surface.
One thing is clear: getting to $2 million puts you in an elite group of retirees. Whether it's enough? That's up to you. But waiting to start saving only makes it harder—so the sooner you start, the better your chances.

Alibaba, Hasbro, Shake Shack, Bausch Health And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is targeting Walt Disney Company's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) proposed tie-up with FuboTV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUBO#NYSE">FUBO</a>) that could change <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">the streaming sector.</a>
What Happened: In a letter to the Department of Justice, Warren asks for close scrutiny<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42816545/fubotv-and-disney-near-merger-to-create-second-largest-digital-tv-provider-shares-soar-report"> on the deal </a>due to antitrust concerns and fear that consumers will end up paying more for sports streaming content in the long run.
"This proposed acquisition raises significant concerns under antitrust law, would give Disney increased market power and incentives to increase costs for viewers, and should be regarded as another data point in Disney's history of anticompetitive behavior," Warren said in the letter.
Warren highlighted that Disney's deal with Fubo resolves a previous lawsuit Fubo filed against Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery over a joint venture called Venu Sports. Warren previously wrote the DOJ on Venu Sports.
"Disney's proposed acquisition of Fubo appears to allow Disney to simultaneously circumvent the lawsuit while gobbling up a competitor."
Warren said Disney is attempting to "purchase its way around antitrust law."
With the tie-up with Fubo, Disney would dominate the sports streaming market, Warren said.
The Senator said Disney's acquisition will decrease competition and could violate antitrust law.
"Disney has proposed a plan to acquire its competitor, and, in the process become an even more powerful force in an already highly-concentrated market."
Warren said Disney has long forced companies to carry less desirable content in order to get access to the highly coveted ESPN sports network. This practice has led to consumers paying more for streaming and cable content.

Why It's Important: Warren's letter comes after Disney previously announced it would merge Hulu + Live TV with Fubo and own 70% of the combined company. The deal also ended the pending launch of Venu Sports and saw Fubo and Disney end litigation.
News of Warren's letter to the DOJ comes as a judge declined to dismiss a lawsuit against Disney by investors, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The investor lawsuit centers on past claims made by former Disney CEO Bob Chapek about the Disney+ streaming platform. Chapek allegedly hid streaming costs and overstated the ability for the unit to grow subscribers and become profitable.
Among the items in the lawsuit, filed in 2023, is Disney&#8217;s plan to grow its Disney+ subscriber total to 230 million by 2024. The company's total stood at 124.6 million Disney+ core subscribers as of December 2024.
The lawsuit also targets Disney's reorganization plans and changes to its original content and the shortened theatrical window for movies to hit streaming platforms.
Bob Iger replaced Chapek as CEO in November 2022. Iger cut streaming content spending and withdrew subscriber guidance when he took over.
The class action lawsuit targets the period of December 2020 to May 2023 when Disney stock dropped by around 55%.  
With news of the case moving forward, along with Warren's letter to the Department of Justice, Disney may see negative headlines in the coming months.
Price Action: Disney stock is down 1.3% to $109.87 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $83.91 to $123.74. Disney stock is up 0.4% over the last year.
Fubo stock is down 1.8% to $3.79 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $1.10 to $6.45. Fubo stock is up 90% over the last year.
