How Gen Xers Can Get Their Retirement Saving Back on Track

Steps that may help to address a savings shortfall.  

Were you born within the years 1965-1980? That makes you a member of Generation X, and it means you are between ages 42-57. Gen Xers now constitute “the sandwich generation” – how time flies.1

Broadly speaking, GenX is the first generation that has had to save for retirement without traditional pension plans. In addition, most Gen Xers will probably retire after 2033 – the year in which Social Security predicts its trust funds will run dry, barring federal government intervention.1

With eldercare responsibilities, kids, and student loans, this demographic is challenged to save for retirement. In fact, 34% of Gen Xers participating in a recent Northwestern Mutual survey stated they had no idea how much retirement income would be sufficient for them. In April, Bankrate found that just 12% of Gen Xers direct more than 15% of their incomes into savings; about 40% were saving 5% or less of their incomes.

Determine Your Investment Risk Right Now!

Investing is fun, and is the greatest tool towards creating future wealth. But when you spot an opportunity, there is a huge question to ask yourself.

Does this investment align with my investment beliefs?

I’m not talking about the product that the company is producing. Instead, I’m talking about the amount of investment risk you are looking at.

Sure, every investment comes with a certain amount of risk, but that higher risk should mean a higher payoff in the end. But your entire portfolio can’t be full of risk either.

Physicians Thrive is now providing a tool to every investor to determine where you should be at when it comes to investment risk, and where the level of risk needs to be to achieve the goals you’ve set out for. This tool is called Riskalyze, which takes into account your current portfolio, your financial goals and investment beliefs. Riskalyze shows you in real-time if you’re aligned with your mindset or if it needs to be adjusted for more or less investment risk.
