If you look beyond the average, slightly more Americans are interested in retiring after age 65 than before it. Over a third (37 percent) of workers are planning to retire at age 66 or older, up from 14 percent in 1995, the Gallup poll of 652 working adults and 363 retirees found. Another third (32 percent) of Americans say they are aiming to retire before age 65, down significantly from 49 percent in 1995. About a quarter (24 percent) of workers are hoping to retire at exactly age 65, a proportion that has remained consistent for the past decade.
