The Delta variant is a painful reminder that we are not out of the woods on the COVID-19 pandemic. Let me add my voice to the chorus of those urging you to get vaccinated—both shots—if you haven’t already. If not for yourself, then for those around you.
“Workers are weathering a public health crisis and contending with fears about the virus and vaccinations, concerns for family and friends, employment impacts, and financial setbacks,” said Catherine Collinson, chief executive and president of Transamerica Institute and TCRS. The younger you are, the more time you have to make up for these kinds of economic setbacks. But it also means a reduced opportunity to invest and save for the long run—yes, even in your 20s you should be thinking about this. TCRS’s Gen Z and millennial data also support data from other studies that shows younger Americans waiting longer to marry, having fewer kids and being priced out of the soaring housing market.
As for skipping contributions to retirement accounts—again, no surprise given things like reduced pay and hours, if not outright layoffs and furloughs—this will result, decades from now, in a smaller retirement pot for millions. This is the “butterfly effect”: a change that seems small now can have a great impact later.
