A recent survey reports that those feeling insecure financially are increasing, and that women feel more vulnerable than men. In Unum’s fifth annual poll of working Americans, released this month, more than 40% plan on postponing their retirement and half report lacking confidence in their savings to cover lost income if they suffer a serious injury or illness.
More than a third of respondents (36%) say they don’t feel financially secure, and the 16% who feels “not at all secure” is up from the previous year. Men (33%) feel less insecure than women (40%).
