Recommendation

Emily Brandon, US News & World Report’s retirement planning expert, tells US workers how to plan for retirement. Americans once could rely on pensions from the companies where they worked. They also had monthly US Social Security checks from funds they paid to the government over their working lives. Today, unless some measure replenishes Social Security, Brandon says the government won’t be able to pay full benefits after 2034. US workers who fail to plan ahead and maximize savings may end up in trouble. Given all that, she spells out 10 productive, detailed steps people can take to get ready for retirement. getAbstract recommends her knowledgeable, helpful manual to older Americans who want to enjoy life after work.

Take-Aways

  • Social Security is the vital bedrock of most US workers’ retirement plans, particularly since pensions are no longer available for most US workers.
  • American workers 65 or older can sign up for Medicare – government-guaranteed health insurance coverage.
  • IRA or Roth 401(k) savings plans are the primary vehicle for retirement savings.

    This is purely US-oriented
    How's Europe doing in this?

      Each country is very different.
