Take Charge of Your Retirement

Many Americans believe they can meet their retirement lifestyle needs with Social Security payments alone, but too often, they are not saving enough to cover costs for the rest of their lives. The result: an income gap, or discrepancy between actual income and expenses. On average, retired workers can expect to receive $1,543 monthly in 2021, or $18,516 annually, from their Social Security benefits, according to January 2021 estimates from the Social Security Administration. However, older households spend an average of $45,756 annually, roughly $3,800 monthly on expenses, including housing, transportation, food and health care, according to a 2016 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report. Beyond mortgage payments and grocery costs, retirees often face additional, substantial expenses such as long-term care. Medicare does not typically cover long-term nursing home stays, so families could be left paying an estimated $4,000 monthly for assisted living or more than $8,000 monthly for skilled nursing needs. Developing a plan to cover costs — and putting that plan into action early on — can help you optimize your savings and anticipate shortfalls.
