The AARP 2018 Tennessee Retirement Security Study was a telephone study among 500 registered voters age 18-64 in Tennessee on retirement savings issues. ©ISTOCK.COM/adrian825 Survey findings
show that many Tennessee registered voters age 18-64 who are in the workforce do not feel financially prepared for retirement. Cost-of-living increases and health care expenses can make
saving for retirement a challenge for many workers. Key findings include the following: * Over half (56%) of all registered voters feel they are behind schedule for planning and saving for
retirement. * Two thirds of respondents feel anxious (67% very/somewhat) about having enough money for retirement. * Over three in four (77%) support a state retirement savings plan to help
Tennessee residents save for retirement through a private-public partnership. * Most agree that Tennessee lawmakers should do more to make it easier for Tennessee small business owners to
offer a way for employees to save for retirement. Interviews were conducted January 11 through January 17, 2018. Sample was drawn from a registered voter list. 50% of interviews were
conducted via landline phone and 50% of interviews were conducted via cell phone. The margin of error is +/- 4.36%. For more information contact Jennifer Sauer at [email protected].
