One of the survey’s biggest findings is that 61% of those 50 and up are worried they won’t have enough money for retirement.

Among AARP survey findings: 61% of Americans 50 and up are worried they won’t have enough money for retirement. And only 21 percent of people have a retirement plan.

An increasing number of people are worried that they won’t have enough money to live comfortably in retirement, and men aren’t as financially secure as they once were, according to an annual survey from AARP.

The AARP Financial Security Trends Survey, conducted in January and released in April, included interviews with more than 8,300 Americans over 30 across every state in the country. Conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, the survey aims to analyze the financial experiences and attitudes among Americans.

One of the survey’s biggest findings is that 61% of those 50 and up are worried they won’t have enough money for retirement, Indira Venkat, senior vice president of research at AARP, told USA TODAY on Wednesday.

And if you break those numbers down even more, one in five of people who have not retired have no savings at all, Venkat said.

    As a 40 year old person here I thought the retirement plan for my generation was to get a nice ergonomic office chair and die in it while still playing of my kids student debt and overvalued mortgage.

        Nice, I like the wood grain, gives it a nice I’m a horrible executive vibe to it, the seat padding looks from a distance okay but the lumbar support looks to be lacking.

          Haha definitely true. I’ll just use my regular office chair to die in too much better back support

            My work sprung for the hayworth ferns, damn those things are nice. If they made a burial chair, I’d be all over it.
