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.
This age is not a stable number that remains the same over generations. Instead, it changes, varying according to trends in employment, retirement, and life expectancy. For example, in the United States, the average age at which individuals retired in 1910 was 74 years old. In 2002, however, the age was 62. Many people confuse the average retirement age with the normal or full retirement age. In the United States, the full or normal age of retirement is the age at which a person can begin to receive full Social Security benefits.
