What movie title best describes your finances?

A new national survey of retirees included an intriguing question. When asked what movie title best described their retirement years, 41 percent chose “Staying Alive” to signify they are barely keeping their heads above water financially. The least popular answer was “Easy Money.” One in four said they weren’t sure.

Perhaps Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, which performed the survey, should have offered more choices. Some suggestions:

For those whose financial situation is hopeless, there’s “Gone With the Wind,” “Mission: Impossible” and “Apocalypse Now.”

For those who aren’t really sure where they stand, perhaps “Daredevil,” “While You Were Sleeping,” or “Road to Perdition.”

If you just can’t bear to know where you stand, how about “Chicken Little,” “Heaven Can Wait” or “Cliffhanger?”
