BOSTON — More working Americans — 31 percent — believe they will retire later than the minimum age to collect their full Social Security benefits than held that expectation 20 years ago, a recent study from Gallup shows.
By comparison, already retired Americans say they stopped working at an average age of 61. Today, only 23 percent expect to knock off before turning 62, or before they would be eligible for Social Security benefits. Thirty-eight percent expect to retire sometime between 62 and 67, according to the study released late last week. Eight percent are unsure.
BOSTON – A capital budget set to be unveiled by Gov. Charlie Baker later this month will include a large investment aimed at the need for affordable housing options in Massachusetts.
Speaking to a room of housing developers from across the country Monday, the first-term Republican said that $1.1 billion will be devoted over the next five years to spurring construction of new housing, provide support for local public housing authorities, and helping to "preserve at-risk affordable housing" options for low-income families and individuals.
