Savings: survey shows U.S. saves less than other countries
Article Abstract:
Merrill Lynch and Co. Inc.'s Seventh Annual Retirement and Financial Planning Survey indicates that US citizens save much less than their foreign counterparts, and the US personal savings rate has been declining over the last 20 years. More Americans are realizing the importance of saving and have developed the habit, but the US is gradually heading for a national savings crisis, as far too many Americans are saving only a small amount of what they will need upon retirement.
