QUESTION:

CBO Update on Utilization of Tax Incentives for Retirement Savings

Congressional Budget Office, CBO, report on Utilization of Tax Incentives for Retirement Savings. Bottom line-we are saving less in spite of improved tax incentives. Translation-it is getting harder to save.

This CBO study is interesting for at least a couple of reasons:

[1] It lists the various retirement savings plans that benefit from tax incentives. And it describes how each of them works.

[2] It reports the utilization of each of these retirement savings plans over time - are more people using a specific retirement savings plan or less? - Is more, or less, money being set aside in each of these savings plans?

Since the government deals in huge amounts of data, the study, I think, is comprehensive and it gives you insight on how working folks are behaving regarding utilizing tax incentives for retirment savings.
