It's clear that the retirement landscape is changing.

People are living longer, markets are more volatile, and the economic outlook is more uncertain than in the past.

85%: Retirees who eventually made a financial plan and regret not making one earlier

People are living longer, markets are more volatile, and the economic outlook is more uncertain than in the past. With all of this, it's clear that the retirement landscape is changing. What hasn't changed, however, is the role of preparation in having a successful retirement. BlackRock's Annual Retirement Survey found that 85% of retirees who eventually made a financial plan regret not making one early enough in their working life. However, if you don't have a plan it's never too late to start saving; work with your financial advisor to build your secure retirement.
