What Retirees Would Have Done Differently
Money isn’t everything, according to a group of affluent Americans surveyed by Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. Focusing on family and friends, it turns out, gained in importance through the recession.
Just over half of retired respondents with at least $250,000 to invest said they wished they had focused more on their “life goals” than on “the numbers,” according to the firm’s Affluent Insights Quarterly, released today.
There isn't much detail in this story, but it may be a bit of a counterpoint to the "Sweet Spot" thread. This story refers to retirees with $250,000 as "affluent" while, based on the other thread, they are dangerously underfunded.
