Recalibrating Retirement Spending and Saving
John Ameriks and Olivia S. Mitchell, Editors
September 2008
As Baby Boomers transition into their 60s, they have focused policymaker and media
attention on how this generation will manage the retirement phase of its lifetime.
This volume acknowledges that many, though not all, in this older cohort have
accumulated substantial assets, so for them, the question is what will they do with
what they have? It provides a detailed exploration of how people entering retirement
will deploy their accumulated assets in the near and long term, so as to best meet
their myriad spending, investment, and other objectives.
