The poll asked boomers how the current market crisis is affecting their retirement plans, daily expenses and personal finances. Fifty-five percent of boomers believe the current financial crisis will cause them to delay retirement by five or more years and the majority of respondents (46 percent) reported losses of 10 percent to 20 percent in their retirement accounts. Boomers point to a variety of sources for current market conditions, including the federal government, Wall Street, banks and consumers.
