2 While retirement is an aspiration, many Washington State Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers are not ready for it. Washington adults are anxious about retirement security. 55% of respondents are very or somewhat anxious when thinking about their finances in the future. Millennials (age 18-34), Gen X (age 35-50), and Boomers (age 51-64) feel equally anxious about their retirement security. Washington adults are confident they will retire and no longer work for pay because it is something they want to do, and they think they will have enough money saved to afford to retire. 77% are at least somewhat confident they will one day be able to retire and no longer work. Seven in ten (72%) say they will retire simply because they want to stop working someday, and because they believe they are saving at a current rate that will provide them enough money for retirement (71%). Most say the income in their retirement years will come from money they have saved in a 401k or other personal savings tool, but three in five have never calculated how much money they will need in retirement. 64% say a combination of personal savings and money specifically set aside for retirement in a defined contribution plan will be their largest income sources, but 63% have not done a retirement calculation. Nearly a quarter do not have access to a workplace retirement savings tool. 24% of survey respondents do not have a way to save for retirement at work. Younger adults have the least amount of access. Almost a third of Millennials (29%) currently have no way to save at work for their future retirement compared to one-fifth of Boomers (20%) or Gen Xers (21%). Nearly half of all respondents have less than $25,000 saved for retirement. 45% have less than $25,000 in retirement savings but many have even smaller retirement nests. Overall, 26% have less than $5,000 saved for retirement. Nearly one in two (45%) Millennials has less than $5,000 set aside in retirement savings, as does one in six Gen Xers (17%) and one in eight Boomers (12%). Many say day to day life gets in the way of saving for retirement. 55% say concern about current finances is the top reason they can t save more for retirement. Generational experiences are also a factor. Millennials are dealing with education expenses such as student loans (46%), Gen X adults are dealing with an income squeeze and can t afford to save more (53%), and Boomers are dealing with unexpected medical expenses (30%). The AARP Retirement Readiness Survey was conducted as a landline and cell phone telephone survey among adults ages working or looking for work in the state of Washington. The survey was conducted in English by Precision Opinion July 19 to July 25, The sample was weighted by age within gender to reflect the population in the state of Washington ages The margin of sampling error for 1,000 in Washington is +/-3.2%.

3 SURVEY IN DETAIL Washington adults are anxious about their retirement security. Much has been made about the Live Now, Worry Later image of young adults today, but in our survey of Washington adults age working or looking for work, three generations of residents, Millennials (age 18-34), Gen X (age 35-50), and Boomers (age 51-64), feel equally anxious about the future- which is their retirement security. Feel Anxious About Financal Security During Retirement Years (n=1,000) Very or Somewhat Anxious About Retirement Security by Generation (n=1,000) Millennial (age 18-34) Gen X (age 35-50) Boomer (age 51-64) Very/ Somewhat anxious, 55% Not very/ Not anxious at all, 44% 53% 58% 54% Very/ Somewhat Anxious Most Washington adults want to retire in their mid-60s. Regardless of anxiety, most people want to stop working for pay someday and retire. While the age for full Social Security benefits is 67, when non-retired respondents were asked what age do you consider to be your retirement age? the average response was age 64. Younger respondents were likely to say an age below age 65 with the average being age 62 for those The Right Age for Retirement (n=1,000) Less than age 65 33% Average Right Age for Retirement by Generation (n=1,000) age 65 29% Millennial (age 18-34) age 62 age % Gen X (age 35-50) age 64 age 70+ 5% Boomer (age 51-64) age 65 Ready or Not?

4 Washington adults in the workforce are confident they will retire and no longer work for pay because it is something they want to do and they think they will have enough money saved to afford to retire. Retirement is an aspiration for many people, but one in five Washington adults say they are not confident they will be able to retire at some point. While a large chunk of respondents do not think they will be able to retire, most (77%) are at least somewhat confident they will one day be able to retire and no longer work. Confidence in Retiring At Some Point and No Longer Working (n=1,000) Extremely /Very confident Somewhat confident 29% 48% For many, the desire to want to retire is as important as the financial aptitude. Among those who are confident they will retire, seven in ten (72%) say they will retire simply because they want to stop working someday. A similar seven in ten (71%) say they will retire because they are saving at a current rate they believe will provide them enough money for retirement. Not too confident Not at all confident Not sure 2% 10% 11% Interestingly, one quarter of respondents are optimistic they will be able to retire due to receiving an inheritance that will provide for them in retirement (15%) or they will win the lottery (9%). Reasons Why People are Confident They Will Retire Among those who are Extremely, Very, or Somewhat Confident (n=775) Just want to stop working someday, so I will Saving at my current rate will save enough for retirement 72% 71% I will get a job in the future that has retirement benefits I will invest in a company that will have returns for my retirement I've already saved much of the money needed for retirement 36% 44% 44% I plan to start a business which will give me extra money 34% I will inherit a large amount of money 15% I will win the lottery 9% Ready or Not? Retirement Readiness Among Washington State Adults Age in the Workforce 3
5 Millennials are more likely than Gen X or Boomers to say they will retire due to things working out for them in the future such as a future employment with an employer with provides benefits (Millennial: 66%, Gen X: 40%, Boomer: 18%), future investments that will provide dividends (Millennial: 60%, Gen X: 36%, Boomer: 31%), and future plans to start a business that will provide extra money for retirement savings (Millennial: 50%, Gen X: 28%, Boomer: 22%). Boomers are more likely than younger generations to say they will retire because they have saved enough money to retire (Millennial: 16%, Gen X: 37%, Boomer: 62%). Contrary to Millennial optimism and Boomer pragmatism, Gen X adults don t have any unique reasons for their retirement confidence. They want to retire and think they are saving enough for their retirement. Reasons Why People are Confident They Will Retire Among those who are Extremely, Very, or Somewhat Confident (n=775) Millennial (age 18-34) Gen X (age 35-50) Boomer (age 51-64) Just want to stop working someday, so I will 72% 70% 78% Saving at my current rate will save enough for retirement 70% 70% 72% I will get a job in the future that has retirement benefits 66% 40% 18% I will invest in a company that will have returns for my retirement 60% 36% 31% I plan to start a business which will give me extra money 50% 28% 22% I've already saved much of the money needed for retirement 16% 37% 62% I will inherit a large amount of money 15% 14% 17% I will win the lottery 12% 5% 8% Ready or Not?

6 Most say their income in their retirement years will come from money they have saved in a 401k or other personal savings tool. Whether they are in the workforce or not in the workforce, older adults still have living expenses such as paying for groceries, transportation, healthcare, and housing utilities. Having an income stream in retirement, which many respondents say is at age 64, helps people maintain the lifestyles they want. When all respondents were asked about sources of income they believe will provide them the most money in their retirement years, most (64%) say a combination of personal savings and money specifically set aside for retirement in a defined contribution plan will be their largest income sources. Sources of Income that Will Provide the Largest Share for Retirement Years (n=1,000) Personal saving or investment not in a retirement plan 32% 401k, IRA or 403b defined contribution plan 32% Social Security 14% A traditional pension or defined benefit plan 13% Not sure/ Don't know 6% Something else 3% Three in five have never calculated how much money they will need in retirement. While most working Washington adults age are confident they will retire at some point, and that the money they will live on in their retirement years will come from personal savings, most have not actually calculated how much money they need to have saved for their retirement years. Ever Calculated How Much Money Needed for Retirement (n=1,000) No, 63% Yes, 36% Ready or Not? Retirement Readiness Among Washington State Adults Age in the Workforce 5
7 Nearly a quarter of respondents do not have access to a workplace retirement savings tool. One of the best ways to build an income nest for the retirement years is to save for retirement while working. Unfortunately, nearly a quarter (24%) of Washington adults does not have a way to save for retirement at work. While most people want to retire, a large swath of people don t have access to tools that will help them prepare for retirement. Retirement Savings Plans Currently Provided by Employer (n=1,000) 401k or defined contribution plan only 42% Traditional pension or defined benefit only 12% Traditional pension and 401k 10% No way to save 24% Not sure/ Don't know 13% Adults age (Millennials) are more confident they will retire, and want to retire at a young age, but about one third (29%) currently have no way to save at work for their future retirement, and one in five (21%) are not even sure what type of retirement savings tool their employer offers. One in five Boomers (20%) and Gen X (21%) respondents do not have a way to save for retirement at work. Retirement Savings Plans Currently Provided by Employer by Generation (n=1,000) Millennial (age 18-34) Gen X (age 35-50) Boomer (age 51-64) 401k or defined contribution plan only 37% 46% 43% Traditional pension or defined benefit only 6% 13% 17% Traditional pension and 401k 6% 11% 12% No way to save 21% 20% 29% Not sure/ Don't know 9% 7% 21% Ready or Not?

8 Nearly a third of those offered a workplace retirement savings tool are not taking advantage of it. Twenty four percent of Washington State respondents age currently in the workforce have no way to save for their retirement at work. Those without access to workplace retirement savings overwhelmingly say they would be likely to use a workplace retirement savings tool if available (77% very or somewhat likely to use). Unfortunately, there are many Washington adults who have access to workplace savings but do not take advantage of it. Thirty percent of those offered a retirement plan at work, like a 401k, do not take advantage of it. Most people with access to a savings tool do actually save with it. Seven in ten Washington State working adults age who are offered a retirement savings tool at work are contributing. According to respondents, they are saving on average 9% of their income in a 401k or similar defined contribution plan. Contributing to Workplace 401k Retirement Savings Plan (n= 519) Likelihood to Contribute to Workplace 401k Retirement Savings Plan if Available (n=370) No, 30% Yes, 69% Likely, 77% Not likely, 16% DK, 7% Percent of Income Currently Saving in Workpace 401k Retirement Savings Plan Among Those Currently Making Contributions (n=355) 27% 26% 21% 11% 15% 1% - 3% 4% - 6% 7% - 10% 10% - 99% Don't know Ready or Not?

9 Nearly half have less than $25,000 saved for retirement. Many respondents say they are saving for retirement, yet self-reported retirement savings accounts are relatively low given the high savings rates. Nearly half (45%) of all respondents say they have less than $25,000 in retirement savings. A quarter (26%) has less than $5,000 saved for retirement, and four percent, inclusive across all generations, say they have $0 or nothing put aside for retirement savings. 26% Amount in Retirement Savings (n=1,000) 4% 15% 6% 13% 13% 10% $0 $1-$5,000 $5,000 - $25,000 $25,000 - $50,000 $50,000 - $150,000 $150,000 - $500,000 $500,00 or more As age increases, so do retirement savings. Younger adults relatively new to the workforce have much less money saved than adults age 51 or more. Nearly half, or about one in two (45%) Millennial adults (age 18-34) has less than $5,000 set aside in retirement savings, while one in three (35%) Boomer adults (age 51-64) has $150,000 or more set aside. While Boomers have set aside a significant amount of money, it may not be enough to support them in their retirement. Gen X adults, those ages 35-50, have a moderate amount of money set aside for retirement, falling within the $50,000-$150,000 range. 45% Amount in Retirement Savings by Generation (n=1,000) Millennial (age 18-34) GenX (age 35-50) Boomer (age 51-64) 28% 21% 17% 12% 12% 18% 18% 16% 16% 5% 5% 4% 10% 19% $0 -$5,000 $5,000-$50,000 $50,000 - $150,000 $150,000 - $500,000 $500,00 or more Ready or Not?

10 Many say day to day life gets in the way of saving for retirement. When asked about reasons for not saving more money for retirement, most respondents say day to day life, such as current finances, paying down debt, and not having extra income to set aside, make it difficult to save for retirement. Reasons for Not Saving More for Retirement (n=1,000) I m more concerned about my current finances than retirement 55% I m paying down debts I can t afford to save more 48% 51% I m paying for education expenses I don t have specific retirement savings goals 35% 37% I spend too much money 31% Retirement seems so far away- I ll get to it later I had unexpected medical expenses for myself or a family member 26% 25% Something else I have too much job uncertainty 20% 20% Generational experiences influence why people are not saving more money for retirement. Millennials are dealing with education expenses such as student loans (Millennial: 46%, Gen X: 35%, Boomer: 28%); Gen X adults are dealing with an income squeeze and say they just can t afford to save more money (Millennial: 49%, Gen X: 53%, Boomer: 41%); and Boomers are dealing with unexpected medical expenses (Millennial: 24%, Gen X: 23%, Boomer: 30%).

11 Businesses that offer employees a way to save for retirement are viewed positively and are seen as desirable places to work. While retirement is a wish for most people, practically speaking many working age Washington State adults are not ready for it. Eighty-three percent wish they had more money saved for retirement. Gen X (ages 35-50) and Boomers (ages 51-64) are more likely than Millennials (ages 18-34) to realize their retirement readiness shortcomings and wish they had more money saved (Millennial: 77%, Gen X: 88%, Boomer: 84%). Retirement readiness is not possible without access to the right tools. Businesses that offer employees the tools to help save money for retirement are viewed positively and are seen as desirable workplaces.
