Retirement Savings Crisis

The Retirement Savings Crisis refers to the widespread shortfall in funds that many individuals will have when they retire, leaving them unprepared to cover their living expenses. Contributing factors include inadequate savings habits, rising healthcare costs, longer life expectancies, and insufficient retirement plan participation or contributions. As a result, many seniors may face financial insecurity, relying on government support or continuing to work later in life. Addressing this crisis requires increased awareness, better financial planning, and policies to encourage and facilitate saving for retirement throughout one’s working years.
