The new RICP® Retirement Income Literacy Survey from The American College New York Life Center for Retirement Income quizzed more than 1,200 Americans aged 60-75 with over $100,000 in assets other than their home. The results, even among this relatively well-off, retirement-aged cohort, are troubling. Most retirement age Americans display a worrying lack of knowledge about what it takes to actually retire, with three in four failing to pass a quiz on how to make their nest eggs last throughout retirement. The results of the survey cast a bright light on gaps in retirement income knowledge.
