What financial challenge keeps Iowans up at night?
Iowans biggest financial challenge is planning for retirement, a survey by GoBankingRates.com found. As part of the survey, 10,000 Americans were asked to choose their biggest financial challenge from seven options: Planning for retirement, saving for a home, saving up an emergency fund, sticking to a budget, building an investment portfolio, paying for higher education and paying off credit cards. But Iowa residents weren’t alone, as more than half of all states named retirement planning as the biggest challenge, while a third of respondents said sticking to a budget was their biggest challenge, MarketWatch reported.
