I posted this link on an older thread, but feel it's important enough to bump it here as a separate subject. A fairly long study of retirement as it applies to different age groups, with some emphasis on those aged 49 to 69, as well as those who are older.
Some interesting numbers that contrast fears and reality, from Pew Research, and then going through the statistics from different sources as to retirement success and failure.
In additition there are many other overviews of what the future may hold in terms of continuing care, the status of Social Security, and the future expectations about pensions and self investments.
Some surprising numbers about various scams for eldercare and the dollars being spent in financial vehicles.
Many positives, many negatives. Overall, probably more germaine to the general retirement community as a whole, than to those here, who have spent more time in detailesd planning, but as we go through the coming years, some benchmarks to be aware of.
