At the same time, an optimistic 15% of the youngest age group expect to retire before age 60.Adults closer to that age are naturally less likely to think they will be ready for retirement by that point.eanwhile, the average age at which non-retired Americans expect to retire has also increased over time, from 60 in 1995 to 66 this year. Furthermore, in 1995, more non-retired Americans expected to retire younger -- 15% expected to retire before age 55, compared with 4% in 2014.
