"Americans' Retirement Savings Struggle Amid Inflation and Debt"

A study by Allianz Life reveals that chronic inflation is causing Americans to deplete their retirement savings, accumulate more credit card debt, and reduce their contributions to savings. High inflation has led to increased prices for everyday goods, forcing nearly 42% of households to dip into their retirement savings. Low-income Americans are disproportionately affected by the rising cost of living, with many turning to credit cards to cover basic expenses. Despite concerns about the future trajectory of inflation, experts advise delaying major purchases and avoiding new debt to prioritize saving for the future.
