COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, more Americans will turn 65 years old than at any point in history, with roughly 12,000 people a day reaching the age most target for retirement. A new survey from the Nationwide Retirement Institute® reveals that many adults in this age range are not as financially comfortable as they expected to be at this stage of life.

Key Points: 
  • There is a significant gap between the realities of current retirees and the expectations of adults ages 60-65 who are still working.
  • They expect to spend 42% of their income on food, housing, and other basic expenses, while retirees actually spend 53% on those expenses.
  • Retiring ahead of schedule: 64% of current retirees stopped working earlier than planned, which can reduce important years to save for retirement.
  • If Congress does not take action, future retirees can expect a 23% cut in benefits, according to the Social Security Administration .
