Falling Short: The Coming Retirement Challenge and What to Do About It!
March 24 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
$100
Online via Zoom • 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Presenter: Andrew Eschtruth
The United States faces a serious retirement challenge. Many workers will lack the resources to retire at traditional ages and maintain their standard of living in retirement. The shortfall is caused by increasing income needs – due to longer lifespans and rising health costs – and decreasing support from Social Security and employer-sponsored pension plans.
The solutions are to work longer and save more. To work longer, individuals could plan to stay in the labor force until their late 60s if possible. To save more, policymakers could shore up Social Security’s long-term finances; make all 401(k) plans fully automatic; and ensure that everyone has easy access to a retirement savings plan. Individuals could also consider tapping their house for income in retirement.
