Show Me the Money!
In the US., the average life expectancy, for a person who is 65 years old today, is just over 20 years for women and just short of 20 years for men.
The number #1 reason people want to work later in life?
They need the money.
Why?
- This group’s so-called savings are far from enough to take them through ever-longer lifespans. Have you looked at the data on average savings? Go ahead… Look. It’s a stunning predictor of what is coming just around the very next corner in time.
- Companies are cutting back the benefits paid to retired employees and pension plans are a hangover from the past. In fact, even if you are a government worker, your pension plan may be woefully underfunded. Go ahead, look at your state… Will your pension plan be there when you need it?
If you are like the majority, your retirement savings are woefully inadequate for the long-haul. Rather than tell you more, click here for a picture worth the proverbial 1000 words… https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-average-family-saved-for-retirement-2016-3
Ready for some good news?
- You too can join the almost 20% of Americans (Bureau of Labor Statistics) who are 65 and older and still working.
- Oh, and by the way, there is now definitive evidence that people who work later in life, live longer. https://www.wsj.com/articles/retiring-after-65-may-help-people-live-longer-1462202016
