I didn't see it, but I wouldn't surprise me.
The Generation of, "I want it and I want it now" doesn't leave anything left for savings. Unless you pay yourself first by maxing a 401 K or IRA there won't be anything. It wouldn't surprise me if the same 36% or more weren't paying more than the minimum on their credit cards either.
Imho, the IRA and 401 k was the best legislation ever for saving. It's a no brainer. Start at 2% and build to the max over a period of time.
