New survey on the importance of financial security

Catherine Rampell over at the New York Times (see here) reports today on a new survey that addresses how different generations compare on their ranking of "life goals."  Interesting reading.

She does point out the following:  "This is the first time the Heldrich Center asked these specific questions, so it’s hard to know to what extent these generational differences are due to aging, current (and eventually passing) economic conditions or something culturally specific to each age cohort."
