Summit, New Jersey--(Newsfile Corp. - January 9, 2026) - Financial educator and fiduciary advisor Dr. Barbara Walker-Green has announced a complimentary, online educational web class designed to help Americans better understand the growing retirement income gap.

Many retirees find that their accumulated savings fall short of meeting ongoing income needs due to rising costs of living, inflation, and market volatility. Dr. Walker-Green's upcoming webinar is designed to provide educational insights into retirement income planning considerations and long-term financial preparedness, helping individuals better understand the factors involved in transitioning from savings to income in retirement. 

A Growing Retirement Challenge

Economic shifts and changes in the retirement landscape are creating increasing concern around retirement income sustainability:

• Rising living costs are outpacing traditional retirement planning assumptions, leaving many retirees unprepared.
• A focus on account balances rather than income planning considerations has resulted in many individuals saving diligently, yet lacking clarity on how income may be structured in retirement.
• Increased life expectancy extends the long-term impact of inflation, placing additional pressure on retirement purchasing power.

"Retirement isn't just about how much you save—it's about understanding how savings may be used to support income needs over time," said Dr. Walker-Green. "This complimentary educational webinar is designed to help individuals explore income planning considerations, inflation awareness, and long-term sustainability as they approach retirement."
