(Epic Economist)—Do you know that 80% of households with older adults are not only struggling financially today but are at risk of falling into economic insecurity as they age?
However, the trend is still worsening over time. About 90% of these older adults have seen a decrease in their income, which puts the retirement crisis at a high rate. But the question remains: what is the solution to this retirement crisis? How do we manage it?
The U.S. retirement system has not only become more of a savings system but less of an income system. And this has resulted in a big risk! Workers will outlive their savings.
But here is the truth: The majority of older households that are approaching retirement simply are not financially prepared.
The most important measure that shows you are financially ready is your ability to replace working income after you retire. But that is far from what most Americans do because they hardly maintain their standard of living.
As a rule of thumb, most people will need to replace at least 70% of their wage income in retirement. Notwithstanding, those who have not been able to save much for retirement will depend solely on Social Security, which will typically replace only about 40% of pre-retirement income.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies. Reach out to them today to see how they can streamline the rollover or transfer of your current and previous retirement accounts.
Retirement. Phhhtt! Retirement for most of us is a joke. As a country we no longer make anything except babies and housing. Both of which are very expensive. Many Americans can’t afford to go to college (as if it makes you any smarter) and college degrees aren’t what they once were. STEM being the exception but not all of us can pass the rigid course of those programs, either. So, the poor sucker left trying to have the American dream of 2 kids, a wife, a home and a car on 50K or 60K doesn’t have any excess money to invest. Besides that, our p*ss poor politicians are undermining our efforts to earn on our investments, anyhow. For instance, I invested 61K in an Edward Jones account after Saint Joe Biden became president. I has ticked up and down ever since but the straight line has been a gradual decline. I told the financial planner that I should have my head examined for investing it with them. There was an investment Guru a long time ago who said basically, you fund 100% of the investment, you take 100% of the risk and if it makes anything you get 30% gain. Besides that you could wind up with nothing with likes of Joe Bribe’m and company.
Oh wow! After decades of OFFSHORING AMERICA, offshoring countless jobs while insourcing ILLEGALS and foreign visa workers, who could have ever possibly foreseen this (or 9/11, the plandemic, etc.)?!?!
YYYAAAWWWNNNN . . . wonder why JFK, President John F. Kennedy, lobbyied congress so diligently to pass his Interest Equalization Tax to “incentivize” corporations to reinvest (amortize) in American labor and industry instead of offshoring everything —— remained in existence until 1972 or 1973, if memory serves!
Instead, from 1980 to 2014 real American wages rose 0.47% as compared to other OECD nations which experienced a rise of between 80% to 500% — so the next closest to America was 160% increase or greater to our wages?!?!
Recommend the book by genuine populist conservative, Michelle Malkin: SOLD OUT, worth the read!!!
