Retirement Stats
The US Social Security Board reports that 85 out of 100 Americans reaching age 65 don’t even have $250. And only 2 percent are self-sustaining. The rest are dependent upon their family, church, or the government!
Statistics show that, at age 65, after working 40 years:
• 1 percent are wealthy
• 62 percent have less than $6,000 annual income
• 79 percent have total assets of less than $35,000
• 80 percent have incomes of less than $15,000 per year including Social Security
Measure Your Wealth
Robert Kiyosaki’s definition of wealth is the number of days you (or anyone else in you household) can survive without physically working, and still maintain your standard of living. Using this definition, you can measure your wealth by calculating how long you could survive if you, and/or your spouse, lost the ability to work tomorrow, how long would it be before you lost everything you owned. If you come up short – do you have a plan to remedy the situation?
