The primary reason for the older generations remaining in the workforce isn’t surprising: people simply don’t have the money to retire. Three in five retirees surveyed by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies said making money or earning benefits was at least one reason they had retired later than planned, and almost half said financial problems were the main reason for working past 65. With nearly 60%of all U.S. households having no savings in individual retirement accounts such as a IRA or 401(k), the fact that older workers simply can’t afford to retire is not a surprise. Those that do have a retirement account, predictably see different levels of funding according to their income.
The situation doesn’t appear to be on the verge of getting any better either, as 27% of Americans say they will “keep working as long as possible” according to a 2015 Federal Reserve study – and to make matters worse (for younger generations), 12% of Americans say they don’t plan to retire at all.
