New Survey Finds Americans Want Even More Guaranteed Income in Retirement

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, September 8, 2022

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent volatility in the markets has altered Americans' perceptions around what it means to have a secure retirement, as three-fourths of respondents say they would like more guaranteed income in retirement than they already have or expect to have, according to a new national poll of retirees and near-retirees by Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and leading retirement solutions company Athene. Interestingly, more pre-retirees express this desire than current retirees do (82% vs 69%).

Key Points: 
  • Three-fourths of respondents say they would like more guaranteed income in retirement than they have/expect to have.
  • The rising cost of health care (72%) and inflation (71%) closely follow as other top threats cited in the survey.
  • A majority of respondents (57%) say that having more guaranteed income in retirement would specifically ease their concerns about running out of money.
  • "Retirees with enough guaranteed income to pay their fixed expenses can stay fully invested in the stock market during a downturn," says Kiplinger magazine editor Mark Solheim.
