I'd say anybody on a site like this is probably better off than their 'average' peers. This is a good benchmark, but remember, everybody has different goals and needs in retirement. Somebody living off $100k a year will have less needs than someone making $250k a year. Also, those later in life who were avid savers will skew the average numbers heavily.
Either way you slice it, it's a pretty sad state of affairs. Problem is most have nobody to blame but themselves for their poor money decisions. I'm not impressed by the under 25 and 25-34 crowds who claim to be raking it in on RobinHood and living the FIRE life.
