The Biggest Financial Fears Facing Retirees
If you worry about money, you are not alone. According to a CBS News report, one in five retirees say they are struggling financially. That has obviously spurred a variety of financial fears.
A survey by the investment firm Schroders found that retirees’ biggest financial fears are:
• Inflation eroding the value of retirement savings and other assets (90%)
• Higher than expected health care costs (87%)
• A major market downturn significantly reducing assets (81%)
• Not knowing how to best take retirement income and/or draw down assets (69%)
• Outliving retirement savings (68%)
The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the financial well-being of older Americans by passing the Social Security Expansion Act.
