Retirement Savings Assessment + a Funny

May 23, 2023

Fidelity Investments® released its latest Retirement Savings Assessment, which revealed that America’s Retirement Score has moved back into the yellow to 78, a five-point decline from an all-time high of 83 reported in 2020. This means the typical American saver is on target to have 78 percent of the income needed to cover expenses during Retirement.

Fidelity’s Retirement Savings Assessment is built upon comprehensive data from more than 3,500 survey responses that are run through the extensive Retirement planning platform Fidelity uses every day with customers.

Other survey highlights:

48 percent of working American households are likely to be able to cover at least their essential expenses in retirement, based on the Retirement Scores that were calculated.

  • Over eight in ten (82 percent) are concerned that inflation will eat into their finances.
  • Despite many feeling that they have little control, most (85 percent) households are taking some remedial action, including 52 percent who say they have cut discretionary spending and 19 percent who have cut essential expenses; and
  • 63% said they were considering a reverse mortgage to insure their financial future, and live a comfortable retirement by getting an annuity.  As of March 9, 2023, a $100,000 annuity would pay you $614 per month if you purchased the annuity at age 65 and began taking payments immediately. 

I don’t sell annuities, I do reverse mortgages. To find out more about reverse mortgages and how much you may qualify for, go to my website below.

I love what I do! because I really change peoples lives. So many of us think life is good , but how can it be so good when so many seniors are living from thier social security check. Sure, you can pay the bills but is that why you worked for all your life? Did you forget to have fun while retired? Ever imagine what it would be like if you could take trips? A cruise, or visit the kids more often? Do more for your grand kids? Do more for yourselves! Check out my website to find out more, and use the free reverse mortgage calculator to find out how much you may qualify for. We have peaked at the high end of home prices. Now it has started a slow quiet down turn. Follow your homes value on www.zillow.com Like you, I am also a senior citizen (but a young one at 66) so follow my blogs for weekly financial information we can use.
