"Mortgage Lending Made Easy" IS A COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT ON YOUR WISH LIST? By Sandy Hunter, Social Security Public Affairs Specialist, Salt Lake City Is a financially comfortable retirement something that you are hoping to receive as a gift this holiday season? Too many Americans are finding themselves in that "wish list" category for having the retirement they want. According to the most recent Retirement Confidence Survey from the Employment Benefit Research Institute, less than half of workers age 45 and older have even tried to calculate how much money they will need to save for retirement. That could leave them at some holiday season in the near future hoping that a comfortable retirement is given to them in a nicelywrapped package. For most American workers, Social Security forms the largest part of their financial foundation in retirement. If you have average earnings, your Social Security retirement benefits will replace about 40 percent of your income. Most financial advisors say you will need 70 to 80 percent of your work income to maintain your pre-retirement standard of living comfortably. So, you will need to make up the difference with pensions, savings or investments. You can find a personSame car. alized estimate of your SoSame color. cial Security benefit by SameOutions. checking your Social Security Statement, which is mailed each year to every worker age 25 and older approximately three months before their birthday. Read it carefully because it contains information vital to your personal financial future. It shows not only how much you and your family might expect to receive from Social Security when you retire, but also what Social Security would provide if you become disabled or die.
