Americans Aren’t Prepared for Life’s Unexpected Moments
The median cost of an American household’s most expensive “financial shock” is $2,000.1 How confident are most individuals that they could comfortably cover the cost of a car breakdown or unexpected medical emergency?
Dipping into a retirement account for any of these rainy day emergencies could have serious consequences for retirement savings. In fact, withdrawing just $5,000 at the age of 35 could cost $30,000 from the account's balance at retirement age.2
