Are You Retirement Savvy? Take This Quiz to Find Out
Test your basic knowledge of retirement in our quick quiz.
Retirement can easily last more than two decades, which is why it takes saving and planning. It also requires at least basic retirement financial literacy. After all, if you don’t know when to collect Social Security benefits or what age Medicare starts, you could make costly mistakes.
Unfortunately, far too many Americans fall short when it comes to their financial retirement IQ. In fact, TIAA Institute and the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC) gave Americans a failing grade when they asked adults six questions, ranging from how Social Security is calculated to the benefits of a 401(k) match. Just 37% could answer three or more correctly, and only 7% got five or six questions correct.
We developed our own six-question Retirement IQ test to help you gauge your knowledge. Think you can do better? Take our quiz below and find out!
