What:

A news conference to release new research that shows how debt is affecting Americans' ability to save for retirement. More than 2,000 Americans from four generations were polled for this national study, which shows many of them don't understand what debt is. However, most of the people polled are philosophically anti-debt and want to manage their debt so that it doesn't threaten their future financial security -- particularly with respect to their retirement.
