The average American aged 65 and up earns $55,335 annually, but with expenses reaching $52,141 yearly, there's little wiggle room for emergencies. With only about $200,000 in retirement savings, many find themselves needing to work past retirement age. 💼 💰 Also, they are burning about 75% of that income in these 4 expenses: 1. Housing: Downsizing can provide financial relief, allowing you to stash away funds for retirement or pay off debt. 2. Transportation: Consider alternative options like public transit to reduce costs. 3. Health Care: Prioritize preventative care to minimize expenses. 4. Food: Opt for meal planning and grocery list adherence to avoid overspending. With strategic adjustments, your retirement funds can stretch further, affording you the freedom to enjoy your golden years to the fullest. 🌟 If you wish to have expert guidance to secure your retirement and your family's financial future, book a FREE consultation with us and don't let more time pass by! #generationalwealth #wealthmanagement #buildingwealth #milliondollarbaby #collegefund #taxfreeretirement #annuity #fireyourboss #buildyourownagency #infinitebanking #familybanks #lifeinsurance #wealthaccumulationstrategies #qualifiedrollovers #401k

Social Security—it's the bedrock of retirement income for millions of Americans. But here's the cold, hard truth: It’s on shaky ground. The Social Security Administration itself warns that if nothing changes, benefits could be slashed by over 21% by 2034. Think about that for a moment. You could wake up one day to find your primary source of retirement income significantly reduced. Government policies shift, economic factors fluctuate, and suddenly, what you thought was a sure thing is anything but. You must account for these potential changes now, not later. Build a financial plan that’s flexible, one that doesn’t rely too heavily on Social Security. The future is uncertain—prepare accordingly.

"More than 11,000 Americans turn 65 every day—over 4.1 million a year, and that number is growing. Two decades ago, 45% of people had access to a pension plan. By 2024, that's dropped to less than a third. We're seeing our population age without the security of a pension plan." - Karen (Inkel) Neeley, Vice President, Head of Institutional Retirement Solutions Group (IRSG), Pacific Life At Pacific Life, we're dedicated to bridging this gap and providing guaranteed income solutions.

While advocating for more retirement savings opportunities for lower and middle-income Americans, I emphasize the importance of preserving current tax benefits and incentives. Striking the right balance is key. Let's ensure financial security without compromising existing tax advantages. I say No to the "New Math"! #retirementsavings #taxbenefits #financialsecurity

In 2023, the Retirement Confidence Survey revealed the largest decline in retiree confidence since the 2008 financial crisis, with many still not fully recovered in 2024. Despite ongoing concerns about inflation and the cost of living, there are signs of optimism among retirees. These findings highlight the critical role that you, as an advisor, play in guiding clients through uncertain times. In light of these challenges, it's essential to: ✨Have open conversations with your clients about what this means for them. ✨Reassess financial plans with your clients. ✨Educate and empower your clients with the information they need to make smart financial decisions.

Better Markets has been tirelessly working on the U.S. Department of Labor best interest rules for over a decade! Read our full statement here: #retirementsecurity #conflictofinterest #investorprotectiob
We applaud President Biden and the Labor Department for finalizing its new Retirement Security Rule that will help all Americans #retire with dignity by ensuring they get best interest advice from financial advisers. Too many financial advisers are allowed to recommend investments that increase their own income handsomely but saddle their clients with financial products that cost too much, perform poorly, lock up savings, or carry excessive risks. As a result, after a lifetime of hard work, many Americans discover that bad investment advice has forced them to delay retirement for years, suffer a lower standard of living, or even go without basic necessities. These reforms represent a huge step forward in fixing the problem. https://lnkd.in/eAhAqW4K #saveourretirement #closetheloopholes
