Household Health
05/24/2017 |
Household financial health is modestly improving. In 2016, 70% of Americans said they were living comfortably/doing OK, up from 69% in 2015 and 62% in 2013. Similarly, the percentage with no retirement savings has declined from 31% in 2014 to 28% in 2016. And, while 44% of Americans wouldn’t be able to pay cash for an emergency $400 expense, that’s down from 46% in 2015 and 47% in 2014.
