Retirement planning

Retirees may have gotten out of the workforce too early if they are not yet eligible to claim health coverage through Medicare.

Many workers are not financially stable and not prepared for retirement, according to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, resulting in an increase in onsite financial programs.

This does not mean that plan sponsors and committee members cannot insist on getting non-conflicted fiduciary advice; it just makes their job harder.

Plan sponsors and advisers: “It is important to realize that three or four years from now, what is done today will be examined, and it needs to be done with a good standard of care and mitigation of conflicts of interest.”

Seniors need to be mindful of enrollment deadlines with Medicare.

Younger workers think cash is the best long-term investment. Unsurprisingly, they’re not seeing good returns.
