The AARP NY/Siena survey details the huge financial obstacles African American Gen Xers and Baby Boomers face in preparing for retirement, their lack of actual planning – and the strong support of both generations for effective retirement savings solutions.

City residents will react to the survey findings and talk about their own financial futures.
