## [Could Assumptions Harm Your Retirement Strategy?](https://blog.creekmurwealth.com/blog/could-assumptions-harm-your-retirement-strategy)

## *Three common misconceptions to think about.*
**1 – Assuming retirement will last 10-15 years.**
When Social Security was created in the 1930s, the average American could anticipate living to age 58 as a man or 62 as a woman. By 2017, life expectancy for the average American had increased to 78.6. That said, this average may bely the fact that many retirees could live well into their nineties or beyond.1,2
Assuming you will only need 10- or 15-years’ worth of retirement money could be a big mistake.

## *It may seem like a tall order, but it can be accomplished.*
**Put yourself steps ahead of your peers.** If you have a young, growing family, no doubt your to-do list is pretty long on any given day. Beyond today, you are probably working on another kind of to-do list for the long term. Where does “saving and investing” rank on that list?

### *A convenient move that could ward off probate on your accounts.*
**TOD, JTWROS – what do these obscure acronyms signify?** They are shorthand for *transfer on death* and *joint tenancy with right of survivorship* – two designations that permit automatic transfer of bank or investment accounts from a deceased spouse to a surviving spouse.1

## *Two financial unknowns may erode our degree of confidence.*
The financial uncertainties we face in retirement may risk reducing our sense of confidence, potentially undermining our outlook during those years.
Indeed, according to the 2018 Retirement Confidence Survey by the Employee Benefits Research Institute, only 17% of pre-retirees said they are “very confident” about having enough assets to live comfortably in retirement. In addition, just 32% of retirees were “very confident” in their prospects for doing so.1

### *If you are between 40 & 60, beware of these financial blunders & assumptions.*

### *Having your identity stolen may be costly.*
Many Americans have taken steps in recent years to protect their personal information, but savvy cybercrooks have overcome some of those defenses. A 2018 Javelin Research report found identity theft hit an all-time high in 2017, affecting an estimated 16.7 million consumers. For the first time, Social Security numbers were compromised more frequently than credit card numbers.1
