Survey findings show that most Minnesota Registered Voters age 35-64 who are in the workforce hope to retire and stop working at the average age of 66, but many do not feel financially


prepared for retirement. ©iStock.com/s-c-s Key findings include the following: * More than one-third (36%) of Minnesota voters feel they are behind schedule for planning and saving for


retirement. * Half of respondents feel anxious about having enough money for retirement. * Most agree that Minnesota lawmakers should do more to make it easier for Minnesota small business


owners to offer a way to save for retirement. * Nearly three-quarters support a state retirement savings plan that would help Minnesota residents save for retirement through a public-private


partnership. * Most agree that elected officials should support legislation making it easier for workers without employer options to save for retirement. The AARP 2016 Minnesota Retirement
