Wealthy retirees too scared to spend savings, economy suffers
Original: Wealthy and middle-class retirees are scared to touch their savings — and the whole economy is suffering as a result
Retirees across the wealth spectrum are holding back from spending their savings, a new report argues, and that caution is weighing on the broader economy. The piece suggests that fear of outliving their money is keeping both wealthy and middle-class retirees from consuming as they otherwise might, dampening demand and slowing economic activity as a result.
Why now: Fresh commentary linking cautious retiree spending behavior to broader economic weakness is drawing attention.
