As financial crimes and fraud continue to evolve in complexity and scale, retirees often find themselves uniquely susceptible to various forms of fraud like identity theft, deceptive financial scams, weaponized artificial intelligence, and phishing schemes. These malicious acts not only jeopardize the hard-earned savings and assets of retirees but also pose significant challenges to their overall financial stability and peace of mind during their golden years.

Throughout my career as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), I’ve seen individuals work tirelessly to accumulate savings for retirement only to see these decades of hard work undermined by improper decumulation of assets, fraud, or cognitive decline.

Aging adults face unique challenges when it comes to safeguarding themselves from scams. They are often targeted at a higher rate because scammers assume they have a stash of retirement savings, are more trusting and are vulnerable due to a decline in physical and mental health.

Adults 60 and older lose an estimated $28.3 billion every year to elder financial exploitation, according to a report by AARP and NORC at the University of Chicago.

Recognizing the pressing need to protect the financial well-being of retirees and provide them with the necessary tools to safeguard against fraudulent activities, Retirable is proud to partner with Carefull, the leading financial protection service built to defend your savings, credit, identity, passwords and documents.

This new partnership ensures that every Retirable client will now have access to $1 million in identity theft insurance. By adding this key benefit to our existing retirement planning, investing and spending solutions, we’re taking a big step forward in our mission to empower a confident, worry-free retirement for everyone.
