Gary's Soapbox
Reality Check
Increased longevity, low investment returns, rising health care costs, endangered pensions, questions about Social Security--how in the world are people going to afford retirement under these circumstances? The Employee Benefit Research Institute's annual survey of American attitudes toward their retirement preparedness found workers' confidence in their ability to fund a comfortable retirement was the lowest in the survey's 21-year history. 56% of respondents said they have less than $25,000 in savings and investments, and 29% say they have less than $1,000. 42% said they calculate their retirement needs by guessing.
