Typical retirement savings are failing to yield retirement confidence, according to the Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI), the Chicago Tribune, and Towers Watson. The Chas Schwab Retirement Pulse Survey finds baby boomers surprisingly confident about their savings for retirement.

Actually, each person is different.  Some Americans feel confident about their savings for retirement. Others will have to seek retirement work as Towers Watson and The Hartford point out.

 

If you are lacking retirement confidence, act on four tips from   MarketWatch that could get your retirement prospects--current or future--back on track:

  1. Determine how much you'll need in your savings for retirement.
  2. Save more to reach that level.
  3. Work longer.
  4. Remember your home equity.
