Jackson Financial (NYSE: JXN) released research through its Jackson National Life Insurance Company subsidiary examining family financial support and retirement savings. Conducted with the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, the study found 34% of surveyed pre-retirees provided significant support to an adult family member over the past 10 years. Those who gave averaged $26,311, and 76% expected to give again in the next decade.
Pre-retirees who provided significant support had saved 54% of their projected retirement needs, compared with 66% for those who had not. Savings withdrawals were the most common funding source, at 59%. Among Gen X investors, 36% provided significant support in the last decade, versus 29% of baby boomers.
