Retirement Confidence Weakens

A new Pew Research report reaffirms the declining confidence people have in saving for retirement. In fact, according to the Pew study, levels are lower today than they were in 2009 at the end of the Great Recession. Some 38% of the 2,500+ adults who were surveyed said they were "not too" or "not at all" confident of having enough income and assets for a secure retirement. In contrast to an earlier study, the worry is greater for young and middle-age adults than it is for those closer to retirement age. The full Pew Research report, 
More Americans Worry about Financing Retirement, is available on the Pew Research website.
