41% of people participating in the survey say they are pleased with the sum they accumulate. Nevertheless, this indicates that the opposed it true as well: almost 60% are not pleased.
President of the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies David Jones is inclined to agree with the level of discontent. “But I think that the 41% of people confirming their satisfaction apply basically to a sense that they’re saving the amount they are possibly able to, not meaning they wouldn’t wish to save more,” he reports.
To remind that the replies are indicated by respondents themselves with no idea of correspondence, Bankrate senior analyst Greg McBride points out, “Only for the sake of facts I must state that 50% of people not saving anything say they save the sum they possibly can as they aren’t sure in future.”
GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media conducted this national random-digit-dialed phone survey of 1,014 adults above 18 for Bankrate from Feb.8, 2008 to Feb.10, 2008. The example was burdened by demographic aspects, such as age, sex, race, education and survey area to guarantee that all adults in U.S. families were reliably and correctly represented. +/- 3 percentage points is the margin of error for this study.
