Americans Continue to Face Saving Challenges

3/25/2014

1 Comment

 
Picture
According to a survey released last month by America Saves and the American Savings Education Council(ASEC), just 35% of Americans feel they are making good or excellent progress in saving money. Nearly two-thirds (63%) say they're making fair or no progress.

However, nearly 7 out of 10 (68%) say they are spending less than they are earning and saving the difference, and 64% report having emergency savings to cover things like unexpected car repairs. More than three-quarters of respondents say they are paying off their consumer debt or living debt-free. Although these numbers are higher than or the same as they were in 2013, they are lower than they were in 2010.

Importantly, the percentage of Americans building their net worth through home equity has declined substantially over the past few years, from 68% in 2010 to 54% this year. And those who expect to live mortgage-free in retirement fell from 78% in 2010 to 68% today.

"Only about one-third of Americans are living within their means and think they are prepared for the long-term financial future," said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the Consumer Federation of America and a founder of America Saves.

Sharp differences between income levels
Perhaps not surprisingly, those reporting the greatest challenges were in the lowest annual income levels measured. While no stark differences were noted between the $50,000 and $75,000 income level and the $75,000 to $100,000 range, the percentages dropped dramatically in the $25,000 to $50,000 income range.

For example, although more than 8 out of 10 people in the higher income brackets said they had a sufficient emergency fund set aside, just 63% of those in the lower income level said they had enough to cover unexpected emergencies.

Picture
Spending plans and saving goals may make a difference
The survey authors note that one factor that may contribute to the decline is the falling percentage of Americans who say they have savings and spending plans. The percentage who report having a "savings plan with specific goals" fell from 55% in 2010 to 51% in 2014. Those with a spending plan that includes an amount set aside for saving fell from 46% in 2010 to 40% in 2014.

"As numerous studies have shown, those with a plan save much more effectively than those without one," said Dallas Salisbury, chief executive officer of the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and chairman of ASEC.

"Individuals continue to become realistic about the need to save and plan themselves, rather than assumeit will be done for them," he continued. Each year in its annual Retirement Confidence Survey, EBRI finds that individuals who set financial goals tend to be more confident about their financial future than those who do not.

About the survey
The 7th annual national survey assessing household saving was released as part of America Saves Week, which took place February 24 to March 1, 2014. America Saves Week is an annual event that brings corporate, government, and nonprofit organizations together to promote good savings behavior. America Saves is managed by the Consumer Federation of America, and the American Savings Education Council is managed by EBRI. Sponsored by these organizations, the survey represented the views of 1,108 adult Americans contacted by phone from January 30 to February 2, 2014.


WSF helps people find money they are currently transferring away unknowingly and unnecessarily. We want you to feel you're making excellent progress with saving for retirement.

Five Ways You Can Find Money

1/30/2014

Picture
Let’s say someone offered you $1,000,000 if you could find a winning design
to build the world’s most efficient car. They’re not looking for the world’s fastest,
most opulent or most exotic; they want power, comfort and maximum efficiency to reach their destination in style.

Two priorities immediately become clear. You need to find a plan that offers (1) exceptional power and (2) maximum efficiency.

Now take the car from that picture, and, in its place, think about your personal finances. To achieve your dreams(financial security, easy retirement, perhaps a get-away home in the mountains) you need (1) to find the cash to power meaningful wealth accumulation and (2) a strategy that eliminates waste and unnecessary losses. You need to re-examine your finances, infuse more cash to jack up your investments, and reduce...

Seven Lies That Steal Our Retirement Money

11/4/2013

Ever had someone really close to you lie to you? Ever had someone deceive you in such a way that it might take years to recover from the emotional or financial impact of their dishonesty?

What steps would you take to avoid ever falling into that trap again? Would you make a phone call to try to set things straight? Would you venture to trust a third party who might have the wisdom you need to recover your losses safely and efficiently?

In the financial world, very often the most damaging lies are indeed those which we tell ourselves. It’s not that we mean to be dishonest. We simply buy into, bank upon, and often spread untruths that end up crippling our financial prospects and draining life out of our long-term dreams of retirement. To learn about the seven most common myths, untruths and lies that many people believe -- falsehoods which rob them of their retirement wealth, please click on the graphic above or:

Can You Afford to Lose $117,000?

9/16/2013

Wealth Accumulation for Your Retirement Plan - Corona, CAClick above to view the full report!
Nine out of ten Americans, age 50 to 70 with $100,000 or more in investable or retirement savings, have suffered at least one retirement calamity due to some significant economic or life event that slammed their retirement savings goals! In the end, the accumulated impact of these painful “derailers” cost the average survey respondent a whopping $117,000!

Can You Afford a $117,000 Hit to Your Retirement Plan?

Knowing from the experience of others that this kind of loss 
looms as a strong possibility in your future, will you take steps to side-step such a serious financial body-blow? Will you take steps to protect yourself?

The background information comes from a startling new survey conducted by Ameriprise Financial. The average survey respondent, drawn from a pool of 50-to-70-year-old adults with $100,000 or more in savings, LOST $117,000 to significant financial setbacks -- events which surveyors call “derailers!”

On average, surveyed families had suffered four significant setbacks, and nearly 40 percent had endured five or more “derailers” -- at even greater cost!

Stop and consider this: beyond the dollar figures, each setback carries its own burden of sweat and stress. More than four in ten surveyed say their savings lag behind earlier projections, and 55% describe the cost as “extreme” or “somewhat serious.” If 90% of Americans suffer this kind of loss, is this what YOU want?
