America is in the middle of a historic demographic shift, which we call Peak 65, with more than 4.1 million Americans turning 65 each year through 2027. What used to be 10,000 over the past decade is now over 11,200 every day, and 2025 is the peak of Peak 65. A concerning trend is emerging as a significant portion of the Peak 65 generation lacks sufficient protected income, putting them at risk of outliving their savings.
