It's not just boomers who are worried about Social Security and the future of their retirement.

According to a new study by Adecco Staffing, only 19 percent of recent college graduates believe Social Security will still exist by the time they retire.

Even more concerning, less than half of college grads (46 percent) believe their personal savings will be enough to fund their retirement. Additionally, 26 percent of graduates don't believe they'll be able to retire until they are 70 years old or older.
