Workers between the ages of 37 and 50 are poorly prepared for retirement, according to the 15th Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey of Workers. Only 24% of Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1978) reported that their greatest financial priority is saving for retirement.
One-third of survey respondents expect a decline in their standard of living in retirement. As a result, more than half plan to work beyond age 65 or not retire at all. About 51% plan to continue working following their retirement.
The overall picture for Generation X gets even bleaker. Almost 40% prefer not to think about or bother with retirement investing until their retirement date is closer, and two-thirds admit that their retirement investing knowledge isn’t at the level it should be.
On a brighter note, two-thirds of respondents said they want more information and advice.
