Worldwide, the United States of America is known for its pop and work culture. Young people aim to go to America because it offers a variety of career paths and a pretty handsome salary for almost every profession. However, what is the trend among Americans when it comes to savings and planning for the post-retirement period?
As many as 25% Americans, according to the Federal Reserve Report, have neither pension nor any proper retirement savings. Despite high incomes and stable careers, the issue of having insufficient savings can be witnessed across all age groups and it is found even more in the elderly age group in their 60s. Perhaps this is also due to the fact that although Americans prepare a lot for their lifestyle, their consumer culture is pretty fast and appealing.
In youngsters, the money-saving trend and habits are even worse. 38% of youngsters between 18 to 29 and 27% of youngsters in the range of 30 and 44 have no savings at all. Again, America's vast consumer culture has a lot to contribute to this.
