Retirement I.Q.: Money Matters?

By on Career and Money Smart Living

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire)– It’s estimated that ten thousand baby boomers will turn 65 every single day from now through the year 2030. That means we will have more people than ever before retiring. And even though you may only be in your fifties right now, will you be ready to retire when the time comes? The American college of financial services regularly evaluates people with a retirement income literacy quiz, retirement i.q. The test essentially examines how much you know about retirement. In 2020, eight out of ten individuals who took it failed. Could you pass?

Are you ready to retire? How much do you need saved? When should you take your social security?

“The primary thing they should know is, ‘how much is my retirement going to cost me?’.” Jeannette Bajalia, the President/Founder of Women’s Work explains.

Let’s test your knowledge: a 65-year-old man has an average life expectancy of: ten, 15, 20, or 25 more years? The correct answer is 20 years! But more than half of respondent’s underestimate life expectancy! Should you take social security at 62 or wait until 70?

“Social security was intended to represent a very small portion of your retirement income.” Bajalia states.

For every year you delay taking social security, you will get an eight percent increase in your benefit until age 70.  But each person needs to consider their health and retirement lifestyle to determine whether to wait. What about this one: Medicare typically pays for the costs of a nursing home for the first year? That would be false! Medicare does not generally pay for long-term care … Medicaid pays for nursing homes and that only kicks in after your finances fall below a specific level. And one more: what proportion of the population will need long-term care at some point? The answer is 70-percent! Hopefully we will all make it to a ripe old, healthy age … but it’s always good to be prepared.

One more question … how much savings should you have to retire? The recommended retirement savings amount is up to four times your annual salary. You can take the entire retirement income literacy quiz online. Go to https://retirement.theamericancollege.edu/2020-retirement-income-literacy-survey.
