New Jersey's Gallup Organization says many working U.S. residents expect a downturn in their lifestyle once they stop working.

Fewer than half of non-retirees have full peace of mind about their finances, saying they have enough money to live comfortably now and expect to do so in the future, Gallup said Monday. In comparison, the vast majority of current retirees say they have enough to live comfortably now.

The April 10-13 poll identifies retirement as the most significant financial concern for U.S. residents. Sixty percent of respondents say they are very or moderately worried about not having enough money for retirement

5. Yeah, I work for an organization

that has been generous enough to contribute 1 or 2 % of our salaries, if we have been lucky, and they resent that and hold on to the contribution until the last possible moment. Makes me feel really secure.

7. Yeah, I expect a "downturn"...

Once I stop working, it'll mean one of 2 things:

I'm DEAD.

Or....

I may as WELL be dead, since I'm too incapacitated to work.

8. Well, I for one will have plenty to retire on........

just as long as I drop dead a week after I retire:)
