為何美國(guó)人不能按理想年齡退休?

Working Americans expect to retire at age 66, up from 63 in 2002, according to a recent Gallup poll. But most retirees don't stay on the job nearly that long.

The average retirement age among retirees is 62, Gallup found. And even retirement at age 62 is a recent development. The average retirement age has hovered around 60 for most of the past decade.

"Americans have two reasons in which they may project a later retirement year. One is financial, and they simply think they will need to work longer because there are fewer pensions, and now people may have a more psychologically positive view of work," says Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of Gallup poll. But a plan to work longer isn't the same as keeping a job into your mid- or late 60s.

Other surveys have similarly found a significant gap between the age workers anticipate retiring and when they actually leave their jobs. A 2014 Employee Benefit Research Institute survey found that 33 percent of workers expect to retire after age 65, but only 16 percent of retirees report staying on the job that long. Just 9 percent of workers say they are planning to retire before age 60, but 35 percent of retirees say they retired that early. The median retirement age in the survey was 62.

Many of these early retirements are unexpected and due to unforeseen circumstances. About half (49 percent) of retirees say they left the workforce earlier than planned, often to cope with a health problem or disability (61 percent) or to care for a spouse or other family member (18 percent), EBRI found. Other retirees are forced out of their jobs due to changes at their company, such as a downsizing or closure (18 percent), changes in the skills required for their job (7 percent) or other work-related reasons (22 percent).

"The difference is between what you know you want to do and what factors outside your control ultimately require you to do," says Dallas Salisbury, president of EBRI. "I will tell you I want to continue working on the assumption that I can keep my job or get a new job, and then my job goes away because the plant closes down or something like that. Or I am very healthy when you ask me that question, and then I suddenly get pushed down a flight of stairs and end up disabled and out of work and on permanent disability for the balance of my life. You end up leaving long before you anticipated."

Of course, there are also some fortunate retirees who are able to retire early because they can afford it (26 percent) or want to do something else (19 percent), perhaps due to an inheritance, unexpected windfall or diligent saving.

An unplanned retirement generally means you need to regroup and make the best of the resources you have. "When you're forced into it, the key thing is to be mentally flexible," says Michael Chadwick, a certified financial planner and CEO of Chadwick Financial Advisors in Unionville, Connecticut. "The trajectory you were on when all was well isn't likely to be the same trajectory you're going to achieve with these new circumstances." You'll need to look at your severance package and ability to collect unemployment if you are laid off. And if you're under 65 and can't sign up for Medicare, you'll need to make important decisions about your health insurance.

An emergency fund is likely to be extremely helpful to people who find themselves retiring ahead of schedule. "You can have your ducks in a row by living below your means and saving well, so if something happens, you've got a cushion and are not desperate," Chadwick says. "Try not to live paycheck to paycheck, and only carry good debt, such as mortgage, tuition and low-rate car loans."

While you may want to keep working during the traditional retirement years to finance a better lifestyle, there's a reasonable possibility that you might not get to choose when you retire, and this should be factored into your retirement preparations. "People would be much better off planning as if they will be unable to work in retirement," says Greg Burrows, senior vice president for retirement and investor services at Principal Financial Group, an underwriter of the EBRI survey. "If they get to retirement and can work, then they have that option, and that's a bonus opportunity."

最近一項(xiàng)蓋洛普民意調(diào)查顯示,美國(guó)人退休年齡將從2002年的63歲增長(zhǎng)至66歲,但大多數(shù)臨退休人員難以堅(jiān)守崗位。

調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),美國(guó)平均退休年齡為62歲——這也是最近的趨勢(shì)。而過(guò)去十年里,平均退休年齡一直在60歲徘徊。

“美國(guó)人提倡延遲退休可能出于兩層考慮。一是財(cái)務(wù)問(wèn)題,由于養(yǎng)老金減少,美國(guó)人覺(jué)得有必要延長(zhǎng)工作年限;其次,現(xiàn)在人們的工作心理更加健康?!备ヌm克?紐波特評(píng)論道,他是蓋洛普民意測(cè)驗(yàn)主編。但計(jì)劃延長(zhǎng)工齡并不意味著能工作到古稀之年。

其他調(diào)查也有類似發(fā)現(xiàn):工人預(yù)計(jì)與實(shí)際退休年齡之間存在顯著差距。2014年雇員福利研究所(EBRI)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),33%的工人表示65歲后才退休,但真正做到的只有16%。只有9%的員工表示計(jì)劃在60歲前退休,實(shí)際上該數(shù)據(jù)卻達(dá)到了35%。調(diào)查顯示平均退休年齡是62歲。

提前退休往往出乎意料,為不可預(yù)見的形勢(shì)所迫。EBRI發(fā)現(xiàn),49%的員工表明,他們比原計(jì)劃提前退休,主要有以下原因:健康問(wèn)題或殘疾(61%);照顧配偶或其他家庭成員(18%)。其他退休人員被迫離職原因包括:公司發(fā)生變動(dòng),諸如裁員或倒閉(18%);工作技能要求變化(7%)或其他與工作有關(guān)的因素(22%)。

“理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)終究是有差距的,人為無(wú)法控制的外因能影響我們最終的決定?!盓BRI總裁達(dá)拉斯?薩利斯伯瑞(Dallas Salisbury)說(shuō)。 “假設(shè)我能夠保住現(xiàn)有飯碗或找到新工作,我會(huì)告訴你我想要繼續(xù)努力奮斗下去,但突然有一天工廠倒閉我成了無(wú)業(yè)游民?;蛘呓邮苷{(diào)查時(shí)我很健康,但突然某一天我從樓梯上摔下來(lái),殘疾的同時(shí)也失去了工作和生活的平衡。結(jié)果你離職比自己預(yù)想的早得多。”

當(dāng)然,也有一些人幸運(yùn)繼承、意外發(fā)財(cái)或勤于儲(chǔ)蓄,他們提前退休一是具備負(fù)擔(dān)能力(26%),或是想做些別的事情(19%)。

意外退休通常意味著需要重新組合、充分利用現(xiàn)有資源?!氨黄韧诵輹r(shí),思想靈活十分關(guān)鍵。”認(rèn)證理財(cái)規(guī)劃師邁克爾?查德威克表示,他同時(shí)也是康涅狄格州尤寧維爾查德威克財(cái)務(wù)顧問(wèn)公司總裁。他還說(shuō),“先前的軌跡與你今后的發(fā)展軌跡不一定一致,因?yàn)樾蝿?shì)在變化?!比绻恍蚁聧彛憔偷醚稣糖采①M(fèi)和失業(yè)金。假如你低于65歲沒(méi)有醫(yī)保,你就得考慮健康保險(xiǎn)。

緊急基金能夠幫助那些提前退休者?!斑m度節(jié)儉儲(chǔ)蓄得當(dāng),生活就會(huì)井井有條。即便發(fā)生了什么事,也能得到緩沖不致絕望,”查德威克說(shuō),“盡量不做月光族,只貸良性債務(wù)——如抵押貸款,上學(xué)貸款和低利率汽車貸款。”

盡管你可能想繼續(xù)工作到慣常退休年齡,然后有足夠資金安享晚年,但極有可能退休由不得你。你在做退休準(zhǔn)備時(shí)也應(yīng)該考慮到這種可能性?!叭藗儜?yīng)當(dāng)做好不能工作到退休的規(guī)劃,這樣晚年就不用愁經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況,”信安金融集團(tuán)(EBRI調(diào)查包銷商)退休及投資者服務(wù)中心高級(jí)副總裁Greg Burrows表示,“如果人們臨近退休仍能正常工作,就有機(jī)會(huì)獲得額外報(bào)酬?!?/p>
