A recent survey by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) found that more than one-third of pre-retirees do not know the age at which they will retire.

The study, "Boomer Expectations for Retirement," also found that three in 10 boomers are concerned about having sufficient assets, while more than half said they will work for income during retirement. However, boomers who own insured retirement products such as annuities have a higher confidence in their overall retirement expectations, with nine out of 10 believing they are doing a good job preparing financially for retirement.

IRI's released the survey results as part of National Retirement Planning Week. The study examines the impact of the recent recession on boomer retirement prospects, analyzes the age at which they expect to retire, and identifies their anticipated sources of income in retirement.
