Post-Retirement Experiences of Individuals Retired for 15 Years or More

The Society of Actuaries’ Committee on Post Retirement Needs and Risks is pleased to make available a research report summarizing twelve focus groups of long-term retirees and fifteen in-depth interviews of caregivers for retirees incapable of participating. The study seeks to understand how middle-income market retired Americans and Canadians manage their assets and spending decisions over the long-term.  The research was conducted by Mathew Greenwald & Associates, Inc.
