"Financial health matters, and the financial pressures outside of retirement plans directly affect savings behavior and long-term financial security, Michael Conrath, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said in a statement. Our latest Retirement by the Numbers' research provides actionable insights to help sponsors design plans that reflect how participants actually save and spend. Since defined contribution plans continue to serve as the primary retirement vehicle for many Americans,"
"The study also found that retiree spending gradually declines by more than 30% between ages 60 and 85 with 60% of new retirees experiencing annual fluctuations of 20% or more. The report noted that increasing contributions by just 1% starting at age 25 could fund nine years of average Medicare-related expenses. When it comes to retirement plans, there is no one-size-fits-all approach."
