Description: In 2012, the Federal Reserve Board’s Division of Consumer and Community Affairs conducted an online survey of older adults. The survey set out to answer: • How do older adults use financial products as they age? • How do older adults make their financial decisions and where do they turn for advice? • What are older adults’ main sources of financial stress? Since the fielding of that survey, the American economy has steadily recovered from the Great Recession. In April 2015, the University of Southern California’s Understanding America Study (UAS) conducted the Financial Management Survey to investigate how the financial lives of Americans have changed with the recovery. In addition to updating the earlier survey this also serves as a contrast because the data covers all ages 18 and over, allowing a comparison of the financial management of individuals and households of all ages.
