I think you're wrong. This website appears to consider CD, IRA, 401(k), and stocks/bonds as "savings accounts". See https://www.gobankingrates.com/personal-fin

  Well, the question was literally "How much money do you have saved in your savings account?" Regardless of what they think it means, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people will interpret "savings account" as actual savings accounts.

    Yes totally agree, question was really bad.

      Which is unfortunate, because the overall question of how much savings people have is really interesting!
