Do current financial uncertainties, like not having a pension, have you concerned about retirement? If so, your not alone. In fact, "Only 13% of Americans with at least $1 million in investable assets feel wealthy...the fear of running out of money in retirement and reliance on their own savings -rather than Social Security and employer funded Pensions - make it harder for even well positioned Americans to feel financially wealthy..." - USA Today
