Will you Need to Keep Working into Your Retirement Years?

In fact, 64% of respondents in the United States, (54% in Europe) said that they anticipated they would have to continue working during retirement.

Begin planning for retirement early

Unfortunately, they study revealed that just 27% of non-retired individuals in the US had any form of regular savings.*

Fortunately, those with significant assets and/or income can begin the process of saving and planning for their retirement early, meaning they are likely to increase their chances of enjoying gains and wealth in the future.

Pension and retirement account planning are another area for individual retirement savers to address. More than half of those surveyed in the United States said that they expected to receive less or roughly the same amount as they put into their retirement accounts, while a disturbing 19% said that the question of how much retirement income they would receive was “not relevant to me”.

ING’s press release in the US highlighted how an increased focus on savings and investment apps, alongside online financial tools, could help address hurdles encountered by savers as well as helping to support retirement planning. ** However, the uptake in users of such tools is still relatively low.

WEF Report Highlights Retirement Planning Shortfalls

A new report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) titled “Investing in (and for) Our Future”, has outlined concerns that many of the world’s retirement savers will outlive their savings by more than a decade.*

The WEF warns that overburdened state and private employee retirement plans are ill-equipped to deal with the pressures of ageing populations and new economic concerns, and says that retirees in six of the world’s major economies – Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands – risk outliving their retirement plans by, on average,8 to 20 years.

It also sought to highlight the plight of female retirement savers in particular, who, as well as living longer than their male counterparts, tend to draw on smaller pension pots.
