You may dream of retirement, but many Americans are less than fully confident that they’ll be able to.
According to the Retirement Conference Survey, 60 percent of U.S. workers say they feel confident in their ability to retire comfortably, but only 18 percent feel “very confident.”
Overall confidence levels have decreased since 2016, down from 64 percent to 60 percent.
Among current retirees, 79 percent say they feel either somewhat or very confident that they’ll continue to have enough money to live comfortably (up from 75 percent in 2016).
Thirty-two percent describe themselves as “very confident,” although 8 percent aren’t confident at all.
