By 2050 the age distribution of the US population should be back to something that looks a lot more normal. This should let people who are now in their 20s and 30s look forward to a reasonably comfortable retirement. It's going to be a demographic train wreck for the next couple of decades, though.
Boomer retirements are going to be a lot more frugal than most people expect. Going car free is part of my own retirement solution but unfortunately I don't think many other Boomers are ready to do that.
