The Perks of Being a Part of the Gray Army

by Steve McDonald

Ten-thousand baby boomers retire every day and will continue to until 2030.

Right now, there are 47 million people age 65 and older. That number will double by 2060. That's just 43 years away.

And the gray army, age 50 and up, holds 70% of the disposable income in this country.

The 60-plus-year-old portion holds 30% of the wealth worldwide.

The world is getting older

There are more people age 65 and older than ever before, and these 600 million individuals are placing pressures on established retirement systems.

The World Bank estimates that by 2050 the global elder population will grow to 2.1 billion, making retirement security one of the most pressing social issues facing the world in the next 30 years.

And sadly, the U.S. is losing ground when it comes to retirement security.

Among the leading nations for retirement security, the U.S. ranks #17, according to the 2017 Global Retirement Index.

At this rate, retirement is more of a fantasy than a reality for many people in this country.

US: Social Security Benefits

There are 40 million retired persons in the U.S. now. That's up from 3.1 million in 1900.

By 2050 - 32 years from now - that number will reach 83 million.

And right now, there are 46.8 million people age 65 and older receiving SSA benefits.

I don't understand the disparity between the number of retired persons and those receiving benefits... but that's what is being released.

Of those 40 million currently retired persons and the future 80-plus million, a large percentage of them vote. And none of them want their benefits to go away.

The 2032 date everyone quotes for, is when the trust fund will be depleted.
