Yep.
With my own family I think it is worse.
I am from a family of eight. Of those eight I think only two of us put away more than just an employer retirement.
Our consumer culture seems to encourage instant gratification and little saving.
My step children despite my efforts never keep a dime in their pocket let alone in a savings account.
I see this in my wife's family. Her father is one of those guys that can save without thinking about it, and their retirement plan is "He's going to die and leave us plenty of money."
And it's only one out of three in my family that has the finances to make plans beyond working.
