Gen X Faces Retirement Challenges with Lack of Estate Planning

Gen X Faces Retirement Challenges with Lack of Estate Planning

As the oldest members of Generation X enter their 60s, a significant portion of this demographic is unprepared for retirement due to a lack of estate planning. According to a report by Trust & Will, 62% of Gen Xers have not created essential estate planning documents such as wills or trusts. This trend is part of a broader decline in estate planning across the U.S., with 56% of adults lacking any form of estate planning documentation. The reluctance to engage in estate planning is attributed to the discomfort of contemplating death and the complexity and cost associated with the process. Despite the availability of online services that offer more affordable options, many Gen Xers prefer traditional methods involving attorneys, which are currently in short supply.

Social Security's 2027 COLA to Increase Due to Energy Price Surge

Social Security's 2027 COLA to Increase Due to Energy Price Surge

Social Security's 2027 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is expected to increase significantly due to rising energy prices following the Iran conflict. The conflict has led to a major disruption in oil supply, causing crude oil prices to soar. This increase in energy costs is reflected in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which is used to calculate the COLA. As a result, Social Security beneficiaries are likely to see a larger increase in their benefits in 2027. The Senior Citizens League estimates a 2.8% increase, while independent analyst Mary Johnson predicts a 3.2% rise, nearly double her previous forecast.
