Quick Hit: Couples Save More Than Singles

20110716-082934.jpg

Apparently, couples have significantly more saved for retirement than singles. Personally, I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that dual income = more money = more saved. Also, factor in that a woman makes $0.77 to every dollar a man makes, and you have a big reason why single women without advanced degrees don’t have enough money for retirement, as this article states. So, I didn’t see this study as particularly ground-breaking, but I’m interested to hear what you think.

  1. Actually, you’ve got it backwards…the title of the article is “Singles Have Significantly Less Saved for Retirement Than Couples.”
