We found this recent survey by GoBankingRates.com very fascinating and motivating. As an investment services company, these results were interesting to look over, and we wanted to share them with our members and readers!
If you are struggling to grow your savings or worry about how much you have saved, you are not alone. GoBankingRates.com interviewed about 5,000 internet users and found that 62% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings! Granted this may exclude any investment or retirement accounts, but still this number is an eye opener.
It means there may not be enough to cover any emergencies that arise. Many end up relying on family, friends, credit cards, or even borrowing on their retirement funds (a 401k no-no) to meet financial needs.
They took their survey results a little further to see if age or gender played any role in these saving trends.
Here at 401k Selections, we know how crucial savings funds are to your financial health. That is why we make it our goal to provide you with the key information needed to help you make the most of your investments! We hope you enjoyed today’s blog.
