Retirement News from MSNBC

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:59:40 GMT

Not much retirement security from government Federal entitlement programs are critical to retirement security,  but these programs are rapidly moving into the red. New projections by the trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds released May 11 indicate that both funds will run out of money even sooner than estimated in last year's report. Social Security and Medicare finances worsen  Social Security and Medicare are fading even faster under the weight of the recession, heading for insolvency years sooner than previously expected, the government warned Tuesday. Taxing Grandma to subsidize Goldman Sachs Financial wizards have managed to buy preferred treatment just as the sacrifices of American retirees help pay off Wall Street's losses. Older workers turn to franchises in recession  Thousands of older Americans have started new careers in recent years by buying small franchises in everything from beauty shops to home maintenance to tax preparation. Why you'll work through retirement There is a major social and cultural message in the current economic collapse for the future retirees of America: Forget retirement. Newsweek: With Boomers' retirement, age wars loom Obama says he doesn't want to mortgage our children's future. If he means it, he'll have to cut retirees' Social Security and Medicare benefits. Who wins? ConsumerMan: Shady retirement seminars Many Americans nearing retirement are bombarded with invitations to attend financial management seminars. A free lunch is offered. But that lunch may prove to be pricey. How the stock market affects retirement plans With the market seesawing daily, you may have seen your retirement savings — that money you've been counting on, and expecting to grow — shrink to disturbing levels in recent months. Video: As retirement savings evaporate, so do easy options  Oct. 8: While people of all ages are feeling the pain of an economic recession, times are particularly tough for retired Americans living on reduced investment income. NBC's Mark Potter reports. (Nightly News) Retirement account losses near $2 trillion Americans' retirement plans have lost as much as $2 trillion in the past 15 months, Congress' top budget analyst estimated Tuesday. Stock losses take hefty toll on nest eggs  So close and yet so far. It's a frustration being felt by Americans who thought the finish line to their working life was almost in sight. America’s most affordable places to retire  A significant number of Americans will soon retire, but many won't be looking so much for a place to settle down as to live it up. Here is a guide to some of the most affordable places. Economy hitting elderly especially hard  Even as elderly Americans file for bankruptcy in record numbers, support is drying up from meal, transportation and other home assistance agencies that can’t pay their own bills. Women should figure longer life into retirement Women may not earn as much as men or fly up the corporate ladder as quickly, but they get the last laugh since they live longer. Right? Is work too good to give up?  In our workaholic society, many people’s lives revolve around their jobs. So retirees can be unprepared for what life is really like once they punch that final time card. New Roth 401(k) offers options Refer to the Roth 401(k) and the likely response will either be a blank stare or a correction: “Oh, you mean a Roth IRA.” But the Roth 401k is real and may be the right plan for you. Sooner or later? When to take Social Security While most people take their Social Security benefits before reaching retirement age, it may not be the best choice, especially in the face of increasing life spans.  It's not too late to nurture that nest egg In a perfect world, every 40- or 50-something would have a tidy nest egg. But in real life, other financial priorities often come first. But now's the time to buckle down. Is there really a retirement savings crisis?  Despite warnings of an impending "crisis" when it comes to Americans saving enough for retirement, recent statistics paint a less harsh picture. Boomers aren’t saving enough for retirement Nearly one-third of baby boomers ages 51 to 61 are at risk of not having enough in savings to finance a comfortable retirement, according to a study being released Tuesday by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Help! I haven't saved enough to retire This week, we heard from two readers with radically different approaches to retirement planning. The Answer Desk, by MSNBC.com's John W. Schoen. Boomers put off retiring  As the baby boomers begin to ease into their 60s, most expect to delay retirement longer than their parents or grandparents. That’s good, because many can’t afford to stop working anytime soon. Boomers going bankrupt at faster rate Americans over the age of 55 are filing for bankruptcy at a faster rate than the general population as growing mortgage debt and higher health care costs make them more vulnerable, a new study shows. Retirement saving up, but health an issue American workers shouldn’t count on making up for inadequate savings by planning to work into their retirement years, since such plans are often doomed by unexpected health problems, Fidelity Investments said Monday in releasing findings of a retirement planning survey. Pensions agency reports deficit of $18.1 billion The federal agency that insures private pension plans for millions of Americans logged a deficit of $18.1 billion this year, a big improvement from last year as a new law helped to put the agency on better financial footing. Women urged to chart a financial course Despite becoming more active in their financial planning, American women still tend to take small steps toward ensuring a financially secure retirement, a recent survey has found.  By Vanessa Richardson. Video: Video: Boomers go after fantasy jobs  Oct. 18: In one recent survey, 83 percent of American baby boomers expressed a desire to continue working into their later years, and more than half of those are looking for a new profession. For some, it's a chance to explore their fantasy job. NBC's James Hattori reports. (Nightly News Breakout) Finding, financing the right nursing home  Making a decision to place a loved one in a nursing home can be hard one. But the next steps – finding the best home and figuring out how to pay for it – is even more difficult Video: Women finding it hard to retire  Oct. 10: Fewer and fewer women are reaching retirement age with enough savings to actually afford to retire. NBC's Janet Shamlian reports. (Nightly News)
