Regrets? We've had a few. A new survey from Bankrate.com finds that not only do Americans have financial regrets, but they continue to procrastinate in addressing the issue, whatever it may be.
While the largest percentage of respondents, at 39 percent, say their biggest financial regret is not saving enough, the next largest, at 18 percent, say they wish they’d started saving for retirement earlier. Fourteen percent regret not saving enough for emergency expenses, and seven percent would have liked to have saved more for the kids’ education.
A whopping 49 percent of those who do have a regret say that they haven’t started to tackle it. Some plan to put it off indefinitely, with 25 percent saying they have no plans to address it; 19 percent think they’ll get around to it in the next year, while six percent say it will take them more than a year.
