The Vanishing Golden Years: America's Retirement Crisis Deepens The Employee Benefit Research Institute's latest Retirement Confidence Survey paints a grim picture for Americans approaching retirement age.
The survey reveals a stark decline in confidence among workers, with only 61% now feeling confident they'll have enough money to live comfortably through their retirement – a six percentage point drop from last year and the lowest level since 2017.
Those who have already retired face economic uncertainty, particularly vulnerability to inflation, rising healthcare costs, and market volatility.
