Interesting data from Kiplinger:
Consider this: 53% of workers expect to work beyond age 65 to make ends meet, according to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Yet, you can't count on being able to bring in a paycheck if you need it. While more than half of today's workers plan to continue working in retirement, just 1 in 5 Americans age 65 and over are actually employed, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics.
Talk about being set up for failure.
Only 28% of baby boomers surveyed by Transamerica have a backup plan to replace retirement income if unable to continue working.
