USA Today: Many workers' retirement savings will run out too soon

A third of middle-income workers will likely run out of money after 20 years of retirement, and significantly more lower-income workers will deplete their savings after 10 years, according to a study released Tuesday.

The Employee Benefit Research Institute, a non-partisan research group based in Washington, said its retirement-readiness study found that living longer, saving too little and inadequate planning for health care costs will leave many retirees short of money to pay basic living expenses.
