Health & Finances Top of Mind as We Age

Can you find planes, trains, automobiles, trucks, ship containers?

According to the Get Old survey conducted by Harris on behalf of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Inc., concerns about both health and finances cut across generations. Health worries start to kick in around age 40, as Americans prioritize their physical health over wisdom and wealth. Three out of five (61%) Millenial and Baby Boomer workers are worried about being able to find a new job if they lost their current one. Generation X and the Greatest Generation (age 68+) are more concerned about being able to retire when they want to (57%). Nearly four in five (78%) believe that those who work past retirement age stay healthier longer and are happier, but 50% are also concerned about the availability of job opportunities in their city. Understanding what is on the minds of people as they prepare for and move into retirement is important in terms of helping them navigate this stage of their lives. Additional survey findings and info graphics are available on the Pfizer website.
