Nonretired affluent investors are sitting in the catbird seat when it comes to saving for retirement.
According to the 2015 Wells Fargo Affluent Investor Survey, 74 percent of them are currently able to meet their retirement savings goals, and as a result they're feeling pretty good about thingS. Meanwhile, 92 percent say they feel very or somewhat confident that they'll have enough money to live the lifestyle they want throughout their retirement, or that they'll have enough money to last through their retirement.
That doesn't mean they're feeling in control of everything, though. When it comes to market turbulence, 39 percent don't trust their own money managing abilities. The number is even higher for women—49 percent lack confidence in their ability to weather market storms. Men, perhaps unsurprisingly, are more confident; just 33 percent doubt themselves in times of market troubles.
