Do young people even think about retirement? That’s what we asked Youth Radio’s Asha Richardson, 21, Sayre Quevedo, 20, and Ashley Williams, 18.

The unanimous answer: Are you kidding?!

They’re not alone — apparently only about half of Americans have even done the math on their retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

Millennials might dream about the good life… but what these three young people want is a road map for how to get there.

Listen above to what Richardson, Quevedo and Williams had to say on savings and their plans for the future.
