Most people don’t know how much money they need in retirement and are stressed about how to pay for it. But a Franklin Templeton Investments survey of more than 2,000 adults in January found that young people are relatively optimistic about their retirement prospects. More than a third of millennials say they will have a better retirement than past generations. That makes them more confident than Gen Xers, of whom only a quarter say the same.
