From the moment we enter the workforce, saving for retirement can often feel like a dark cloud hovering over our heads. We have questions like:
When should I start saving?
How much money do I need to retire?
What's the difference between a Roth and a traditional account?
What will happen to my account when I switch jobs?
In the Retirement Stories project, Manifest talks to people from all walks of life about their experiences when saving for retirement. It's an opportunity for us to share the knowledge of those who've been saving for years, as well as the concerns of those at the beginning of their retirement journey.
he interviews cover a range of pain points and nuances, from choosing and transferring accounts to learning to invest and save. By sharing these stories, Manifest hopes to better prepare you for your financial future as we work to improve retirement transfers.
Today, Americans are switching jobs at a higher rate, leading to a rise in retirement transfers and abandoned accounts. This significantly impacts retirement security. And transferring is so confusing and tedious that 89% of people who start the process don't finish.
Manifest was created to solve this problem. We're creating a quick and easy digital solution to transform the retirement transfer process into a worry-free experience.
