Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) The wealth-to-income ratio for current workers is a good way to gauge their retirement preparedness. (2) During 1983-2007, these ratios were remarkably stable, which should never have been a source for comfort as the need for wealth increased due to: (2a) rising life expectancy; (2b) the shift to 401(k) plans; (2c) increasing health care costs; and (2d) lower real interest rates.
