When it comes to those 45-59, the number increases to 17%. Those who are saving for retirement will be living on a very modest <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/930274866749114715\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">retirement income.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average amount 59-64-year-olds have saved for retirement is only $120,000. Over 15 years, which is the average length of retirement, this gives seniors only $1,000 a month of retirement savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Preparing for the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/walter-reissman.medium.com\/?source=follow_footer-------------------------------------\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walter Reissman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests the best way to avoid this situation is to start planning for retirement many, many years earlier, no matter how daunting a prospect that may be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone says they don\u2019t have enough money to do it, but there is generally enough money for what is important and retirement should be first and foremost. When something\u2019s important, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walter Reissman<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believes: You make it happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Start Small and Early<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The earlier you start saving for retirement, the better off you will be. This may seem obvious. However, if you start early, you can invest a smaller portion of your paycheck and get a bigger retirement return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following figures are based on two assumptions. That you invest in the stock market, which averages a 7% return, and that you place the money into a Roth IRA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you begin saving at age 22, you will have $165,776 by age 67 if you put $10 a week into your retirement fund. $10 a week adds up to one movie ticket or a trip to Starbucks. This small sacrifice can give you stability in retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At $20 a week, you&#8217;ll have $331,553 by 67. At $50, a week, you&#8217;ll have $828,882. This is more than enough for a comfortable retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What About Social Security?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/WalterReissmanDocs\/passionate-professional-walter-reissman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walter Reissman<\/span> <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">notes that many people find themselves depending on their social security benefits to survive during retirement.

Those now entering retirement may outlive their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/WalterReissmanDocs\/passionate-professional-walter-reissman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social security benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if this holds true.
