Fewer still have gone to the trouble of assembling a financial plan, despite the megamillions spent by financial-services companies eager to explain how complex and daunting our post-career lives will be. Financial consultants feel as if they're whistling in the wind, lamenting that their same-old, same-old message--save! don't spend! plan now!--is widely ignored.
