For the better part of a century the foundations for a
semi-comfortable retirement for many Americans have rested on
the financial pillars of rising real estate and equity prices,
positive real interest rates on
savings, the continued solvency of
public and private pension plans, and the reliability of
national entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicaid). But
in the last few years, the economic sands have fundamentally
shifted and these pillars are no longer sturdy, some have
cracked completely. For many Americans, the traditional idea of
a comfortable retirement, filled with golf carts, cruises, and
fishing trips, is going the way of the dodo bird.

Over the last decade incomes and job growth have stagnated,
causing savings rates to drop. According to Jim Quinn author of
the Burning Platform, 60% of retirees have less than $50,000 in
savings. Such sums won¡¯t last very long, especially when
consumer
prices are up 3.6%, import prices are
up 12.5% and commodity prices are up 35% year over year. What¡¯s
worse, any savings placed in a bank will pay next to zero
interest and will likely not even pay for the fees associated
with the account. With cash savings essentially non-existent,
the other pillars of income take on paramount importance. But
these former bastions of financial security are being washed
away by a torrent of red ink.

For years the essential Ponzi-like structures of Social Security
and Medicare were concealed behind positive demographics. But
once taxes collected from current payers fall short of the
required distribution owed to current recipients, the ruse will
be laid bare. That day is now in the foreseeable future. With
insolvency a real and present danger, at least a consensus is
now forming that Social Security must be structurally altered if
it is to survive.

According to the Social Security Administration, in 2008, Social
Security provided 50% of all income for 64% of recipients and
90% of all income for 34% of all beneficiaries. With these
numbers, it¡¯s not hard to see how even small cuts will spark big
protests. Now try cutting the $20 trillion prescription drug
program and the $79 trillion Medicare entitlements and watch the
political sparks fly! However, given the realities, it¡¯s hard to
see how the program can escape deep cuts.

In the past many retirees could count on accumulated stock
market wealth to help fund retirement. Not so much anymore. As
of this writing, the S&P 500 is now no higher than it was in
January of 1999. For over 12 years the major averages have gone
nowhere in nominal terms and have declined significantly in real
(inflation adjusted) terms. The dreams of becoming rich from
investments have crashed along with
Pets.com and Bernie Madoff. Then there is always the supposedly
safest asset of all—a retiree¡¯s home.

Despite a misguided faith that real estate prices could never
fall, they have done just that¡¦with a vengeance. According to
S&P/Case-Shiller, the National Home Price Index has declined
some 30% to levels not seen since the middle of 2002. And prices
are still falling, with the rate of decline accelerating. The
National Index dropped 4.2% in Q1 of 2011, after dropping 3.6%
during Q4 2010. This means that only those retirees who have
owned their homes for at least 10 years have any hope of selling
at a profit. Ownership of significantly longer periods may be
needed to have built up significant equity.

That leaves public and private pension plans. But here again
there are serious issues. Let¡¯s just look at state public
pension shortfalls. According to the American Enterprise
Institute for Public Policy Research, ¡°States report that
their public-employee pensions are underfunded by a total of
$438 billion, but a more accurate accounting demonstrates that
they are actually underfunded by over $3 trillion. The
accounting methods that states currently use to measure their
liabilities assumes plans can earn high investment returns
without risk.¡± Huge returns without risk? Bond yields are the
lowest they have been in nearly a century! What world are these
states living in? With few options, the states will undoubtedly
look to the Federal government (taxpayers) for a bailout.
Failing that, cuts are inevitable.

The sad facts are; Americans are broke, the real estate market
is still in secular decline, stock prices are in a decade¡¯s long
morass, real incomes are falling, public pension plans are
insolvent and our entitlement programs are structurally unsound.
If the pillars that seniors have relied on in the past fail to
miraculously regenerate (and there is certainly no reason to
believe they will), all that most retirees will have will be
freshly printed greenbacks that come from a never ending policy
of federal deficits and an obliging Federal Reserve.
Unfortunately, the inflation that will result from such a policy
will sap most of the purchasing power that those notes
possess. In other words, for most people retirement is now an
illusion, and many Americans will find themselves working far
longer, for far less real compensation, then they ever
imagined. The quicker we realize this, and plan accordingly, the
better off we will be.
