Abstract

• Most rural Nebraskans are concerned about adequate income for their retirement years.

• Social security is only one of many retirement income sources that rural Nebraskans are employing.

• Planning on continuing employment, either full or part-time, into the retirement years as an income source is the rule rather than the exception.

• Few rural Nebraskans plan to leave a portion of their estate to their community organizations and causes, even though they may think favorably about their community.
