Here are 3 fun and interesting facts about retirement and seniors! Did you know?
(1) Retirement could last longer than you think. The average American will retire at age 66 and live until nearly 79. However, for many, retirement will last much longer than 13 years. Source: Investopedia
(2) Older people value older workers. Baby boomers think that workers ages 50 and older contribute more to the workplace than younger generations in a range of categories. For example, 51% of baby boomers think that older workers are more adept at solving problems, while only 22% of millennials think the same of boomers. Source: Yahoo News
(3) Social Security is only designed to replace 40% of your income. According to the Social Security Administration, just $4 out of every $10 of the average American worker’s pre-retirement salary will be replaced by Social Security retirement benefits. Since the Social Security formula is rather top-heavy, this percentage can be expected to be even lower for higher-income workers. Experts generally suggest that it takes about 80% of your pre-retirement income to sustain your lifestyle, so the rest needs to come from other sources. Source: Motley Fool
(4) It's a smart idea to talk to your parents (and grandparents) about their finances. According to personal finance author and columnist, Cameron Huddleston, this is an excellent idea if you want to avoid significant problems if your parents or grandparents encounter serious health issues in retirement that render them unable to mange their own finances. Read more in our interview with Cameron.
(5) If you want to be happy in retirement, hone your purpose. This advice comes from AARP in a column written by John Waggoner. John shares: "If you want to be happy in retirement, you need to feel like you have a reason for being, aside from playing golf or reading novels."
