      According to the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, opens a new window, many Americans facing retirement have little to no savings and no defined pension plan at the time of retirement. With the uncertainty of Social Security benefits, higher costs of living, and outstanding debts, many retirees face a high risk of poverty (Ghilarducci, T., Papadopoulos, M., and Webb, A. (2017) “Inadequate Retirement Savings for Workers Nearing Retirement” Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis and Department of Economics, The New School for Social Research, Policy Note Series).
