Fewer Americans Expecting to Retire


USA Today recently posted an article regarding a study that shows 37% of people do not expect to ever retire. These findings come from a survey done by Wells Fargo. Survey respondents said that “paying monthly bills is their highest priority, and saving for retirement is a distant second”. On a good note, half of the survey respondents reported that they will have enough money to retire, which relays the importance of developing a retirement account as early as possible. But experts say it is never too late to start saving for retirement. To get a jumpstart on planning for retirement, open a savings account immediately and start depositing funds routinely. Try to cut your current expenses and utilize as many tax efficient retirement plans as possible (401k, Roth IRA’s, Traditional IRA’s). When it comes to planning for retirement, earlier is better, but it is never too late. If you have questions about planning for retirement, contact us!
