| Annotation | Despite the strides made in examining its important consequences, too little is known about older Americans' sources of financial satisfaction. The authors use data from a weighted subsample of over 65s from the Americans' Changing Lives Panel Study, Waves I and II, 1986 and 1989. They find that financial satisfaction in 1986 and not receiving food stamps are stronger predictors of financial satisfaction for men, whereas having modest and retirement or pension incomes are more important for women. Having fewer chronic ailments is more important for women, whereas having a surviving spouse is more important for men. (RH). |
