The average age that current U.S. retirees said they retired is now 61, compared with 59 in 2003 and 57 in 1993. It is likely that the average retirement age will continue to increase in the years ahead, as more nonretirees expect to delay their retirement past age 65. Americans' biggest financial concern is funding their retirement, with 61% saying they are worried about having enough money for it.
Social Security's full-benefit retirement age is increasing gradually because of legislation passed by Congress in 1983. Traditionally, the full benefit age was 65, and early retirement benefits were first available at age 62, with a permanent reduction to 80 percent of the full benefit amount. Currently, the full benefit age is 66 years and 2 months for people born in 1955, and it will gradually rise to 67 for those born in 1960 or later.
