I wonder how many of those putting in long hours are expecting early retirement, only for their savings to fall short.

What savings?

I would assume it to be house price less mortgage balance, but not really familiar with the situation in the US. How do people prepare for retirement?

Generally, they don't prepare nearly as much as they should, but you're supposed to save money in retirement accounts such as a 401k or IRA.
