What Is the Biggest Financial Regret Since the Pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the markets and economy like few single events in recent history. Everything changed after the pandemic hit -- markets turned from bull to bear, entire industries were obliterated, millions of jobs were lost, and the U.S. plunged into recession. Of course, that all takes a backseat to the devastating health effects and tragic loss of life it has caused.
It came upon Americans so fast and so furiously that few had time to process the financial implications. But roughly six months later, people have had time to reflect, and there is one major regret. A new survey by Allianz revealed that 52% of Americans regret not having more of their savings protected from market loss.
