The Impact Of 'Grey Divorce': 40% Of Americans Say Later-In-Life Splits Derailed Their Retirement Plans

This "grey divorce" trend has far-reaching implications, including impacts on retirement plans, a new survey by Allianz Life Insurance Company finds. Divorce rates among middle-aged and older Americans are on the rise, according to a 2022 academic study. The study, published in "The Journals of Gerontology," found that between 1970 and 2019, the "grey divorce" rate more than doubled among those 50 and up, from five divorcing persons per 1,000 to ten divorcing persons per 1,000.

You can According to Allianz, 56% of married Americans say that a divorce would derail their retirement strategy. Millennials, in particular, are worried about the ways a divorce could impact their savings goals, with 63% saying it would affect their ability to retire. This is compared with 52% of Gen Xers who report that a grey divorce would impact their retirement plans, and just 35% of boomers. "No one wants to prepare for a divorce," Allianz Life Vice President of Consumer Insights Kelly LaVigne said in the report. "But divorce later in life – especially after retiring – is increasingly common. If you have been planning for retirement as a couple, then splitting up your assets to fund separate retirements can leave you short of achieving your retirement goals." Among those who have already gone through a divorce, 40% of Americans say it derailed their retirement plans entirely, and 34% say it set them back significantly. Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. "It may sound cold hearted, but it's important to consider how a divorce would affect your financial future," LaVigne says. "Those going through 'gray divorce' don't have the time to rebuild retirement savings on their own. Trying to fund two separate lives, instead of a joint one, can deplete retirement accounts faster than anticipated. They may need to delay their retirement to accumulate more savings and consider additional risk management strategies to ensure their funds can last their lifetime." One in three respondents told Allianz that they don't have a financial plan if they were to get divorced. This is creating a lot of worry, especially for millennials and Gen Xers. There is certainly some basis for that worry. About 54% of Americans say that they'd have substantially more financial responsibility if they were to get divorced than they do currently. How to split bills and financial obligations as a couple has long been a hot-button issue, and one that many people approach differently. Among already divorced respondents, 41% say they feel more stressed about their financial situation post-divorce, both as it relates to retirement and otherwise, than they did previously.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX): Don't Worry About Luckin Coffee, Says Jim Cramer

We recently published . Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is one of Cramer's favorite stocks, primarily due to the firm's CEO, Brian Niccol. Niccol is currently embarked on a turnaround effort at the firm, and despite Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)'s shares being flat year-to-date, Cramer has remained a believer. In his previous comments, he has dismissed bearish investors and pointed towards Niccol's successful tenure at Chipotle. This time, he commented on reports of Chinese Luckin coffee stores expanding to the US: 'Are the two Luckin stores really going to destroy him [Niccol] that I read in the news? Lookout. What the heck. It's Brian Niccol we're talking about.' The CNBC TV host discussed Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) ahead of its earnings. Here is what he said: 'After close, we get Starbucks. That's a company that's climbed relentlessly until yesterday, of course, after that drop to the 70s. I bet new CEO Brian Niccol is ready to announce his China plans and to speak proudly of his success in improving throughput. Now it's quite a contrast from the weaker Chipotle, the company Starbucks poached him from. That was a very tough quarter.' While we acknowledge the potential of SBUX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

A first date or a power move? Basketball columnist says McKee's meeting raises questions

Was this just an introductory meeting? The business equivalent of a first date? Perhaps an attempt to gain some leverage while negotiating elsewhere? All we have is speculation following a reported Friday rendezvous between Gov. Dan McKee and an unnamed potential investor in the Connecticut Sun, the WNBA team that currently plays its home games at Mohegan Sun Arena. McKee and the investor reportedly toured Amica Mutual Pavilion, a potential new home for the franchise should the Mohegan Tribe decide to sell its controlling stake. ESPN reported in May the team was exploring its financial options, including taking on potential limited partners. Was this a little public flirting with Providence to spur some action at home? The Sun are one of few remaining teams in the league without a dedicated practice facility, using their home arena for both training and games. XL Center in Hartford is set to undergo a $100 million renovation, a possible in-state option if ownership — current or new — would like to leave the casino grounds but stay nearby. The Mohegan Tribe bought the team for $10 million in 2003 and moved it from Orlando to its home for the last 22 years. The logic at the time was obvious — a new arena that needed an anchor tenant and a market that boasted one of the most passionate women's college basketball followings in the nation. The University of Connecticut just won its 12th national championship under coach Geno Auriemma and has sent dozens of players on to the professional ranks. The WNBA is big business now That was a different WNBA than the one that tipped off this spring. Nielsen reported a 201% spike in viewership from 2023 to 2024. That climb is now at 791% since the start of 2017. Sportico estimated the Sun's value at $80 million last year, a significant growth from the last time ownership changed hands. This is a league with major crossover appeal at the moment, and that starts with the college game. Name, image and rights legislation implemented by the NCAA has allowed players to both get paid and reach wider audiences than ever before. Caitlin Clark had major brand deals with Nike, Gatorade and State Farm in hand before she graduated from Iowa and became the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft. Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers are the three most followed players in the league on Instagram, and they all arrived within the last two years. Cameron Brink and Hailey Van Lith are both in the top 10 and have played less than two seasons. Juju Watkins, the standout guard at Southern California, will be next. WNBA schedule lines up with Providence's downtown The current WNBA schedule runs from May to September, a pocket that coincides with several dates typically available downtown. The Providence Bruins open their regular season in October and finish in April — only an extended run in the Calder Cup playoffs would create any overlap. The Providence College men's basketball team plays its home games between November and March, heading off to the Big East Tournament about two months before the women would take center stage. Is recruiting the team worth it? It's worthwhile for McKee or any other state official to explore such an opportunity. Men's college basketball has meant big business downtown since the former Providence Civic Center opened in the 1970s, including a return of the NCAA Tournament in March. Bars, restaurants and hotels were jammed over a four-day weekend that featured visits from big programs like Kansas, St. John's, Arkansas, Clemson and Purdue. Could a professional women's team capture some summer attention here? The possibility is certainly generating some discussion. Where it goes from here is anybody's best guess. bkoch@ On X: @BillKoch25 This article originally appeared on The Providence Journal: McKee's WNBA meeting wasn't just optics — it was opportunity | OPINION
