Green Retirement

Retirement confidence has crashed, along with the housing and stock markets, by more than 50% since 2007 according to the latest Retirement Confidence Survey.   The 2009 results for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, shows that Retirement Confidence among American workers, is at it’s lowest point since the survey began 19 years ago.  Now, only an unlucky 13% of American Workers are very confident that they have enough savings to successfully retire, in 2007 more than twice (27%) of American workers were very confident about their retirement prospects.

Result finding also show that 72% of Americans plan to work after they retire, 81% of Americans say that they have reduced expenses to cope with a loss in their retirement savings, and only 25% of workers have sought professional financial advice in response to the falling house and stock markets.  And 28% of American workers have decided to delay their retirements.

But perhaps the most shocking statistic not contained in the survey, is that 99.99% of working Americans have not tried the Green Retirement calculator, and thus are working much longer than necessary and needlessly delaying their retirements.  Instead, the survey indicates that 40% of working Americans tried to calculate their retirements using traditional retirement calculators, and received erroneous results.

Green Retirement enables the average working American couple to retire 10 years or more earlier, and with nearly a million dollars less in savings, than is possible with the current and widely accepted retirement formula.  Worst of all the survey does not reveal that their are millions of working Americans, who after trying the free retirement calculator from Green Retirement, may discover that they may already have enough savings to retire.

All working Americans who are considering delaying their retirements, due to retirement savings losses in the housing and stock markets, are urged to try the free retirement calculator before deciding to postpone their retirements.
