2025 Retirement Confidence Survey Highlights Worries Over Social Security, Inflation

The 2025 Retirement Confidence Survey by EBRI and Greenwald Research reveals that 78% of retirees and 67% of workers are confident about having sufficient finances for retirement, a slight increase for retirees compared to the previous year.

Key concerns for both groups include the potential cuts to Social Security and Medicare, which remain critical sources of retirement income. Inflation and stock market volatility are additional factors affecting workers' ability to save and plan effectively for retirement. The survey underscores ongoing apprehensions about the stability of public retirement programs amidst economic uncertainties, highlighting their importance in retirement planning decisions.
