Notwithstanding a strong U.S. economy, only one in four Americans say they feel financially prepared for retirement, according to a report just issued by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards: Close to 80 percent of participants surveyed say they are not reassured that they have the best retirement savings strategies available to them; the CFP Board states that this may have to do with individuals not knowing what options exist.
Three in 10 respondents do not know whether their current employer offered a retirement savings plan. A quarter of respondents complain that saving for retirement is too complicated. (The poll took place in early April among a national sample of 2,200 adults.)
