In this landmark national survey, we asked four generations to talk about their hopes, fears and expectations for retirement. We heard several key themes emerge – with surprising agreement across generations.

  • Nearly everything about retirement is being reinvented.
  • Unprecedented social and economic forces are converging to create new possibilities and new challenges.
  • A new era of financial self-reliance is nearly upon us.
  • We’re hearing a distress call from retirement limbo.
  • People of all ages and backgrounds are asking, “help us help ourselves.”
  • Where we might have expected stark differences of opinion across the generations, we often found shared values, common ground and a sense of a path forward.
