Building financial confidence and retirement readiness
Americans are lacking confidence
TIAA’s 2019 Lifetime Income Survey identifies what contributes to and detracts from people’s financial confidence. It also examines people’s attitudes about guaranteed lifetime income and how it relates to their retirement security.
Lifetime income is the outcome
More than eight in ten survey respondents who can expect to receive guaranteed lifetime income from a pension or own an annuity agree that it contributes to their feelings of confidence.
Moving from uncertainty to confidence
Prepare for the unexpected: Creating a financial plan can provide individuals with the confidence to weather unexpected hiccups like medical bills and market volatility.
Consider the benefits of lifetime income: Guaranteed income can add to feelings of financial security by helping to hedge against market volatility and the potential to run out of money in retirement.
Consult a financial advisor: Working with a financial professional and pursuing lifetime income options can put you on the path toward greater financial confidence and retirement readiness.
