Survey: Half of Americans concerned they may outlive their money in retirement

The survey revealed that several stressors contribute to anxiety around the financial planning process:

  • Forty-three percent feel managing their finances has gotten more complex over the past five years.
  • Nearly half take between one and five hours to research, organize and calculate their overall financial picture on an annual basis.
  • Only 28 percent feel completely confident in the accuracy of their methods to keep up to date with their overall financial picture.
  • More than one-third of respondents use two or more advisors to help them manage their financial activities.
  • Thirty percent of survey respondents were unable to confirm their dependents would know where to easily access or find ALL important and legal documents.
  • Only one in four feels more optimistic about their financial future than they did one year ago.
