List Of Top 17 Financial Problems Facing American Families
Nearly a quarter of Americans called “health care costs” and “lack of money or low wages rank” the “most important financial problems” facing their families, according to a recent Gallup poll.
These concerns were followed by issues like “too much debt or not enough money to pay debts,” “college expenses,” “retirement savings” and “cost of owning/renting a home.”
Notably, Healthcare this year has returned to the top of the list for the first time since early 2010.
