“We are grateful to have the opportunity to use this national event to help motivate savers in a positive way to participate in their retirement plans at work,” said Chuck Cornelio, President, Retirement Plan Services, Lincoln Financial Group. “Whether savers are just starting out in their career, changing jobs or approaching retirement, there are actions that can help boost their retirement readiness at these career checkpoints on the road to retirement.”
According to a recent M.O.O.D. of America study conducted by Lincoln Financial Group, most Americans are taking a careful and deliberate approach when it comes to their retirement plans. Among those who feel prepared, 77 percent believe they have saved enough to cover retirement expenses and 64 percent expect to be debt free during retirement.
Throughout National Save for Retirement Week, Lincoln will share compelling insights from the M.O.O.D. of America study. For five days during National Save for Retirement Week, beginning Monday, October 20, Lincoln will highlight a different career stage and provide key actions that savers can take to help them on their road to retirement readiness.
The five career stages include:
- First Job
- Changing or In Between Jobs
- Mid-Career
- Career Advancement
- Near Retirement
As part of National Save for Retirement Week, Lincoln also introduces the “Your Future: Worth Saving For” retirement education and communication program available for its plan sponsors to use with participants. The program includes a comprehensive suite of materials and a dedicated website with interactive features and resources including a video, calculators and more to promote better savings habits among plan participants. The “Your Future: Worth Saving For” program is available at WorthSavingFor.com.
