Abstract
Longer lifespans, shift to self-funded retirement, market volatility, and lifestyle changes have reshaped retirement into a significant life stage that requires thoughtful long-term planning and diligent preparation. This decade review of 15 research papers published in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues between 2010 and 2019 assesses what has been learned regarding consumer context, choice, and behavior during retirement preparation, retirement transition, and retirement living. The significant need for research-based education throughout the retirement planning process was a consistent theme. Directions for future research are explored.
