Americans Choose Middle Lane of Retirement Highway
Most Americans see themselves just cruising into retirement with their peers, regardless what kind of savings and spending habits they have in place now, according to Allstate's 2006 "Retirement Reality Check" survey.
The sixth-annual survey, which measures Americans' attitudes toward and savings for retirement, showed that, regardless of age, gender, education, income or geography, Americans generally consider themselves only "somewhat" prepared financially for retirement, and thus they have some fears about the years ahead. But when specifically asked, "If saving for retirement were like driving on the highway, where would you be?" almost half (48 percent) said they are "in the middle lane, keeping up."
