Q&A: How AARP Is Working to Fix America’s Retirement Crisis.

In a candid conversation, two of AARP’s leading lobbyists stress the importance of Social Security but warn that it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Retirement is supposed to be a time for pursuing passions and pleasures after a long career. But this rite of passage is looking more stressful than sweet for many Americans. Sixty-four percent of adults ages 30-plus worry about having enough money in retirement, according to AARP research. And roughly 1 in 5 of those adults report having no retirement savings whatsoever.

AARP has spent the summer spearheading celebrations for Social Security’s 90th anniversary and calling on Congress to protect this bedrock of American retirement. While the program is an essential part of a secure retirement, it shouldn’t be the sole source of income American retirees rely on to fund their later years, two of AARP’s top lobbyists.

Everybody's "Retirement Crisis" is going to be different and I doubt AARP will be able to fix them all.

At age 67, I "knock on wood" frequently EVERY TIME Medicare "pays" = I ALWAYS call them BEFORE any "new" medical whatever.

My totally awesome Medicare Doctor already knows that I NEED Medicare "covered" stuff. Lol, now to HOPE my health permits this as I AGE.

Take care,
