More American Adults Delaying Major Life Decisions Because of Financial Concerns: AICPA Poll

Four in 10 American adults -- 41 percent -- are holding off on major life decisions either because they are financially strapped or worried about the U-S economy. This is according to a poll conducted by Harris Interactive for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The decisions include home ownership, higher education, marriage, children, medical procedures and retirement. This represents an 11 percentage-point increase from a year ago, when 30 percent of U-S adults said they were delaying these life decisions for the same reasons. Of the 41 percent of the 2008 survey respondents who said they are postponing life goals, 28 percent cited a lack of savings as the principal reason, while 18 percent pointed to concerns about the country's economic state. General anxiety over the economy is high, with 54 percent of the entire survey sample expressing a pessimistic outlook over the next year.
