Answer 1

The entire population?

Including infants, babies and children?

Eventually, all of them since Social Security exists for them all.

Answer 2

I'm a single 24 year old women trying to buy groceries and I have a 401k. that I contribute to monthly. The Company matches aswell.. so by the time I'm old enough to retire, I will or should be set.. so its possible for anyone to save for retirment. any form or long term savings is saving for the future.

Answer 3

The vast majority are "able" to secure a retirement plan. Anyone can open an Roth IRA.  Put a little $20 a week in there.  Amazing how fast that will add up plus what ever interest you make.  

The problem is we are a nation of consumers and we consume every dime we make plus several quarters we don't have. That is why people do not have retirement plans.

If you put $2,000 a year away (starting in early 20s)  for about 20 years you will be a Millionaire when you retire.  The longer you wait the less you will have and the less likely you will be able to retire.
