The key findings from this year’s report

Results from the 2013 Savings Index indicate that overall levels of preparedness have continued to drop since their minor recovery in 2011, although the drop is marginal compared to 2012:

  • 55% are ‘not saving adequately’, an increase of 1% since 2012.
  • 20% are not saving anything for retirement.
  • An underprepared population is entering old age with an increasing number of credit commitments.

You can download our full report and read our recommendations for addressing some of the concerns it raises.

Thank you for your continued support.
