BOOMER EXODUS
From 2011 until 2029, 10,000 Boomers a day—or 60 million people—turned and will turn 65.
That’s the equivalent of one-and-a-half Californias.
INCREASED LONGEVITY
Life expectancy is up 20 years, yet workers are discarded at 65 or earlier.
Social Security set the retirement eligibility age at 65 in 1936.
IMPENDING POVERTY
50% of workers 50-64 have less than $14,000 in savings to last 20-30 years.
Invested, that yields $50 per month.
RETIREMENT DEMAND
64% of workers hope to work longer and ease into retirement, while 5% of employers offer formal programs.
The demand increases, but the supply does not.
