Did you know that according to the Federal Reserve's 2020 Survey of Consumer Finances, the median retirement account balance for families aged 55-64 is around $134,000? Unfortunately, this amount is often insufficient to support a retirement that could last 20-30 years. As more people exit the workforce due to health problems, caring for family, or lack of job opportunities, it's clear that relying solely on traditional retirement accounts is not enough. Now more than ever, it's crucial to take personal responsibility for our financial future. In 2021, 52% of non-retirees had retirement savings outside of formal retirement accounts, reflecting a growing awareness of the need for additional financial security. Yet, with 27% of adults considering themselves retired while still working in some capacity, we see that the struggle continues. Our mission is to help families, individuals, and businesses mitigate risks and protect their financial future. We aim to ensure that you won't be forced back into the workforce but can instead enjoy the time with your family, pursue the adventures you’ve set your heart on, and contribute to building a financially secure community. Take a moment to reflect on your own financial preparedness. Are you on the right path to a secure retirement? It’s never too late to start making the necessary changes.

I consultatively assist retirement plan professionals to create custom solutions for their plan sponsor clients.
This right here is why we all do what we do! With high inflation the past few years, I don't know how retirees can make it on less than $30,000 a year income. How can the retirement plan industry make a bigger impact and get Americans more retirement ready? Do you agree with Bernie Sanders that we just need to beef up Social Security payments? Or should the government automatically set up retirement savings accounts for Americans? Or should employer sponsored plans be set up to be more proactive with automatic enrollment and automatic increase? Would love to hear what others think is the best solution for retirement readiness! #401k #retirementplans #retirementreadiness https://bit.ly/3wHIlWW

Helping Pre-Retirees, Business Owners, and Divorcees Make More Confident Financial Decisions | Financial Advisor
I found several facts in this article interesting: 1. US Adults estimate they will need $1.5 million to retire comfortably, up 15% from last year. 2. Average retirement savings decreased to $88,400 this year, after a positive stock market performance in 2023. 3. (Good News) Gen Z is beginning savings for retirement at age 22, earlier than any other generation. Millenials are starting at 27, and Gen X is starting at 31. 4. Only 3 in 10 Americans have a tax minimization strategy for their retirement savings. You don't need to do this on your own. Ask for help. Many people spend as many year, or more, in retirement, than they did working. Do go in blind. https://lnkd.in/eRQBMRVd
$1.46M: New 'Magic Number' for Retirement Comfort

According to this Gallup study, many Americans are pleasantly surprised in retirement to find themselves more financially comfortable than they anticipated - though there are some interesting insights for my friends in the #annuity business here. The insight from Gallup shows that a higher percentage of retirees find themselves relying upon Social Security for their income - despite having other resources available. I think that speaks to fear - a well-founded fear of outliving their assets - which is why pre-retiree expectations were that 50% of their income would come from their 401(k) / IRA or retirement savings account, and the reality is that only 29% is. The contrast between expectation and reality there, logically, seems rooted in that fear of tapping their accounts. That fear also seems like it could be naturally assuaged with solutions like guaranteed income riders on annuities, or lifetime income annuities to provide stable monthly income that may outweigh that natural fear of outliving assets. As always - #longtermcare should be accounted for in the client's longevity planning. #retirement #financialplanning #fearofrunningoutofmoney

Amanda Umpierrez, Managing Editor for 401(k) Specialist Magazine reports that a new survey of over 2,000 investors just released by Nationwide's Advisor Authority finds that more than half (61%) hold different expectations for their retirement compared to five years ago.

Despite aspirations of celebrating a 100th birthday, only 26% of Americans believe they will have to work past age 70, according to the Corebridge Financial and The Longevity Project study, which included a survey of 2,284 U.S. adults. Four in 10 respondents said they plan to retire between ages 65 and 69. More than one-fifth (22%) expect to retire between ages 62 and 64, while 12% plan to retire between 50 and 61. “Balancing the age you want to retire with your financial situation can be challenging,” Brian Pinsky, Corebridge’s president of Individual Retirement, said in a March 12 press release. “Individuals need the right financial strategies and solutions to help ensure they can pursue quality of life without outliving their money.” Here are three of the main retirement concerns cited by Corebridge survey participants: https://lnkd.in/d5Z896N4 #retirement #longevity #401k #retirementplanning
