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.
