Retirement Years Longer retirement
In 1950, retirement started later and ended earlier
than it does now.
Today, retirement is lasting 20, 30, even 40 years!
The average 58 year old will live to age 82.
Income Needs Need to replace 77% – 94% of pre-retirement income
in retirement.
SS = 30% - 45% of current income
Age 67 for most
Gap to be filled by YOU Example: $90,000 current income (assumes SS is 35%)
25 yrs to retirement; 5% earnings; 3% inflation; 80% retirement income
Save $3,400/mth = $2.0 million
Withdraw $40,000 in today’s dollars combined with SS = 80% of current income in
retirement: Savings will last 25 years
40% savings rate…not reasonable
SOLUTIONS: START EARLY; HIGHER RETURNS; PLAN
Management of Financial Plan is more critical when
market earnings are low
