Americans are more optimistic about their finances than they have been in 16 years, with 69 percent expecting their financial situation to improve in the next year, according to a survey released by Gallup on Feb. 11.

The optimism level is just two points off a peak reached in 1998, when 71 percent were optimistic about their finances in the year ahead.
