Webinar Recap: Why Retirement Plans Weren’t Built for Retirement — And Why That’s Finally Changing

“While employment stops at retirement, that doesn’t mean that work does. Not in an office or other business facility for an employer, but work nonetheless. Saving for retirement takes effort, but so does using those resources one has accumulated in preparation for retirement.

Spending what one has saved for retirement — a.k.a decumulation — can be nuanced and take some care and finesse. Experts in an April 16 webinar offered some insight on the challenges of doing so, and factors affecting it.

David Blanchett, Head of Retirement Research at Prudential Financial, and Wade D. Pfau. founder of Retirement Researcher, shared their perspectives in “Why Retirement Plans Weren’t Built for Retirement — And Why That’s Finally Changing,” a webinar conducted by Broadridge. Bonnie Treichel, Chief Solutions Officer Endeavor Retirement, served as moderator.”
