In the article:

> ...asked 7,000 people around the country how much money they had set aside in savings accounts for the future...

I think that would include CDs and other savings vehicles. It is unclear if that counts retirement accounts.

Nevertheless it seems like a flaw in the study if it's not counting other liquid sources of cash, such as checking accounts, brokerage accounts, cash itself, etc.
