AARP South Carolina believes that today, a secure retirement is out of reach for millions of Americans, especially those who work for small businesses.

Nearly half of workers age fifty and older have less than $25,000 in savings and investments. The average 401(k) account balance in South Carolina is $20,630, ranked 50th worst in the United States.
