In part because we live longer, and also because of the ways in which women's retirement benefits are tied to how much we earn during our working lives, women face a greater longevity risk - danger of outliving our assets - in ways that men don't. How women can get more guaranteed income in retirement is an issue the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) monitors and has long advocated for.

Garrett B. Gunderson challenges the destructive myths, common cliches, and faulty retirement planning advice about 401(k)s and the stock market. They are risky investments for most people. High risk is high returns in dangerous dogma. And, net worth is a poor indicator of wealth and your ability to retire well. What matters is cash flow!

Many people have asked me why I take such an interest in Boomer 411. I believe that the average Baby Boomer has not saved enough money for their retirement. As I recently state in a posting, The Retirement Drum Beat Gets Louder, the average retirement savings for Baby Boomer’s is less than $50,000. This means that there are many Baby Boomer’s that need help. This fact will affect not only the Boomer’s, but it will have a significant impact on the children of the Boomer’s and the US economy as a whole.

I'm interested in all sorts of stats on net worth -- as you can tell from many of my posts here. Not only do I track my net worth on a regular basis, but I look at what's happening with net worth numbers overall (such as in Median Net Worths -- Are You Ahead or Behind?) and use this information to share my thoughts on the subject (see Net Worth Increasing by More than Your Salary.) So when I saw some stats on Baby Boomers net worths in the March issue of Money magazine, I was interested to see what they had to say.

Here's reason to give thanks: Home equity could provide some savings-poor baby boomers with an unexpected soft landing when they retire.
Studies that chide spend-thrift baby boomers for squandering retirement savings often overlook the generation's hefty stake in home equity -- especially older boomers who are nearest retirement. |

Yet academic research shows that retirees who want to play it safe can afford to withdraw only 4 percent to 5 percent of their nest eggs each year in retirement--if they want them to last for 30 years or more. Even a person with $250,000 could afford to tap only $10,000 or so annually.
