More than one-third of middle class Americans could end up at or near poverty in retirement, according to a new Wells Fargo Retirement Survey.
A survey of 1,000 middle class Americans, conducted by Harris Interactive from July 9-Sept. 4, found that 52% of middle class Americans believe their most important day-to-day financial concern is paying the monthly bills, up from 37% a year ago.
