Suze Orman believes seniors should save enough money to cover three-to-five years ’ worth of living expenses in liquid accounts that are shielded from stock market turbulence.

Orman’s ideal cushion is out of reach for many Americans .

The average retirement savings for American families is roughly $333,940 .

Orman 's five-year just-in-case fund may be the gold standard for retirement security, but for many Americans it’s more of a dream than a realistic plan.
