A new report from Guardian Life (via PR Newswire/Morningstar) highlights a growing challenge: Americans expect to live longer lives, but many don’t feel financially prepared for them.
Only 13% of Americans say they feel exactly on track to save enough for the retirement lifestyle they want, while nearly half say they feel somewhat or very far behind.
The report also found that financial wellness remains the weakest pillar of overall wellbeing, with finances continuing to be a leading source of stress.
At BrightPlan, we see financial wellness as a long-term journey. Building confidence, resilience, and healthy financial habits over time can help employees feel more prepared for whatever the future holds.
