National Retirement Risk Index: How Much Longer Do We Need to Work?
June 19, 2012
The brief’s key findings are:
- Working longer is the key to financial security, but it does not mean working forever.
- Half of today’s households are ready to retire at age 65, but more than 85 percent would be prepared by age 70.
- Thus, five years of additional work would solve the problem for the bulk of the population.
