Today's workers will experience a retirement different in many ways from the post-work years of past generations. While most Americans realize this, many are not adjusting their planning strategies, according to the 2007 Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), sponsored by the nonpartisan Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) and survey research firm Matthew Greenwald & Associates. Improved Health Care Efficiency And Price Transparency Are Priorities For Consumers Health care providers and consumers of medical services agree that greater transparency and improvements in IT systems are needed to make health care delivery more efficient, according to a survey of 1,000 patients and 200 hospital and insurance executives commissioned by the PNC Financial Services Group. Couples' Financial Priorities Shift With Age And Income When talking about money, older and wealthier couples tend to discuss strategies for managing their assets during retirement, while younger and less affluent couples talk more about how they are spending or saving their current income, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for the Wall Street Journal Online. Younger Workers Lack Awareness Of Tax-Advantaged Savings Opportunities Employees between the ages of 18 and 24 are less likely than older workers to participate in tax-advantaged retirement and health savings plans, but they are more likely than their older colleagues to fault their employers for failing to educate them about taxes, according to a survey conducted by online tax preparation service CCH CompleteTax. |
