It’s no secret that the idea of retirement makes a lot of Americans anxious. In a Gallup poll last year, 64% of Americans listed not having enough money in retirement as their top financial concern. And in an even more recent GOBankingRates study, not being able to ever retire came in as Americans’ greatest fear overall.
But new data from Transamerica tells us that women are even more worried about their financial security in retirement than their male counterparts. Only 10% of female workers are confident in their ability to retire in comfort, compared to 19% of men.
