Planning on a Pension?

If you’re planning on a pension, you might want to plan again. As of this year, The American Legislative Exchange Council released this information: State pensions across the country are funded at an average of 35% of what they should be. This translates into an average of $18,300 in unfunded pension liabilities for every man, woman and child across the United States. The new report measures nearly 300 state-administered pension plans and, in total, they have unfunded liabilities of nearly $6 trillion.

In other words, it’s time to take an assessment of your current financial situation in case your pension disappears, or you’re given a buyout option. We have created a five-point checklist to help you navigate this unfortunate and all too familiar scenario. Tune in to find out more!
