According to statistics recently released, by the year 2030, 70 million Americans will be 65 years of age or older, making up 20-25% of the US population. While the average baby boomer is predicted to retire with $500,000-$1,000,000 in assets, in this low rate environment even $1M + can easily be outlived, even with modest annual spending. Only the extremely frugal or the extremely wealthy can afford to ignore the need for a continuing source of income into their retirement years, says Nathaniel Pulsifer, owner of AnuityAce.com.
