Sign Up for Our Weekly Retirement Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/theoremwm.com/weeklyretirement In today's episode of The Retire One Show, we delve into the worrying trend of Americans changing their retirement savings habits due to inflation. Numerous studies reveal that a significant number of people in the US have reduced or even halted their retirement savings contributions. With TIAA reporting that 25% of workers cut back on retirement savings and a shocking 50% of US News and World Report survey respondents having paused their contributions in 2022, the future of retirement looks uncertain for many. We also explore the alarming findings from the Senior Citizens League survey, which showed that 26% of people aged 55 and over depleted a retirement account in the first quarter of the year, up from 20% in the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, a staggering 49% of this group spent their emergency savings during the same period. We also discuss concerning statistics and highlight the long-term consequences of pausing retirement savings, such as a 27% reduction in the final retirement pot for a 30-year-old who stops contributing for just five years. With 1 in 3 Americans cashing out their 401(k)s when switching jobs, these trends spell a challenging future for retirement. In this episode, we also discuss the results of a study that examined the 401(k) leakage, revealing that 41% of participants cash out some dollars, with 35% of the total taking the entire amount. Shockingly, even earners with accounts holding at least $100,000 are opting for cash distributions. We'll discuss the distribution rules and explore alternatives to cashing out, ensuring that you're equipped with the knowledge to make the best decisions for your retirement future.
