The State of Retirement Planning study examines the extent of planning Americans have undertaken to meet their retirement goals, how they feel about those efforts and the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on their preparation. The study also looks at what worries them most and the role planning plays in allaying their stress and concern. Finally, respondents were asked about their familiarity with a set of commonly accepted retirement guidelines. We spoke to a national sample of 1,204 adults who are not yet retired. Respondents had at least one investment account and those over age 34 had at least $100,000 in investable assets.
