Your Money Map Replay: Is Retirement Really in Crisis? What The Data Says with Andrew Biggs
Manage episode 508510806 series 1132024
We’ve all heard the same story: Americans are facing a retirement crisis. But what if that’s not the whole truth?
In this special replay of Your Money Map, Jean Chatzky sits down with Andrew Biggs, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of The Real Retirement Crisis: Why Almost Everything You Think About the U.S. Retirement System Is Wrong. Together, they unpack what the latest data really tells us about retirement savings, Social Security, and how financially secure today’s (and tomorrow’s) retirees actually are.
Spoiler alert: There’s more good news than you might expect.
Jean and Andrew discuss:
- Why retirees today are experiencing record-high incomes
- How delayed retirement and automatic savings are shifting the game
- The real retirement crisis — and why it’s happening at the government level
- Why healthcare and long-term care costs may not be as scary as the headlines suggest
- What you can do if you feel behind (even if you’re not)
