<p>Owning a home can give some people confidence about their retirement prospects, but experts warn that this confidence might be misplaced.</p>
<p>According to the Your Money Retirement Survey conducted by SurveyMonkey and CNBC.com, about 37% of workers – including those employed part-time, full-time, self-employed, or as business owners – believe they are "ahead of schedule" (7%) or "on schedule" (30%) with their retirement savings.</p>

</ul>
<p>Among those who feel on track, 42% attribute their progress to starting<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38793057/can-you-guess-how-many-retire-with-a-5-million-nest-egg"> retirement savings</a> early. Other key factors contributing to their preparedness include having little to no debt (38%) and home equity or ownership (37%).</p>
<p>The August survey gathered responses from 6,657 adults, including 2,603 retirees and 4,054 working adults.</p>

<p>Angie Chen, a senior research economist and assistant director of savings research at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, suggests that homeowners' confidence in their home's value as a source of retirement wealth may be misguided.</p>
<p>"Homeowners are actually more likely to be overconfident in their retirement readiness," Chen told CNBC. "There's a lot of misconception in terms of how people assess whether they are ahead or not in retirement."</p>
<p>Nevertheless, Winnie Sun, co-founder and managing director of Sun Group Wealth Partners in Irvine, California, points out that homeownership can offer other benefits during retirement.</p>

<p>The Center for Retirement Research's (CRR) National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI) gauges the percentage of working-age households at risk of being financially unprepared for retirement. A 2023 CRR analysis revealed that 28% of people believe they are not at risk, despite the NRRI indicating otherwise.</p>
<p>"People who own houses but still owe a lot on their houses are much more likely to be overconfident or not worried enough," Chen said.</p>

<p>To accurately assess retirement preparedness, Chen emphasizes the importance of considering not just the value of your home but also the amount you have borrowed and still owe.</p>
<p>For instance, if you purchased a $500,000 home but still owe $400,000, your actual equity is $100,000. Experts caution that accessing this equity can be costly and risky, as borrowing against your home is not always straightforward.</p>

"You might feel good about having this large asset, but you can't consume that in retirement. You can't spend it so that you can spend and consume other savings."</p>

<p>Experts also point out some advantages to homeownership.</p>
<p>Owning a home offers financial benefits even if you're not factoring in home equity for retirement. First, you build equity in your home. Sun said that when you sell the property, such as when downsizing in retirement, you can access that equity as a lump sum.</p>
<p>Additionally, while you own the property, you have a fixed housing cost, typically including a stable mortgage payment. Despite rising costs for home insurance and property taxes in recent years, you might be eligible for senior discounts on utilities by the time you retire.</p>
<p>Although a house is not a liquid asset, experts suggest you can still access your home equity if needed.</p>
<p>"In most cases for retirees, they kind of see equity as their emergency fund," Sun said.</p>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Quanta Services Stock In The Last 10 Years

<p>Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; is known for his energetic and often controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40905525/jim-cramer-says-he-likes-this-nancy-pelosi-portfolio-stock-very-much-and-this-ai-play-is-reasonably">takes on the stock market</a>. However, Cramer&#8217;s message on retirement planning is crystal clear and emphatic: &#8220;When it comes to managing your money, nothing is more important than retirement.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"><strong> </strong><strong>How do you compare</strong></a>?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"><strong> </strong><strong>How does it compare to the average?</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Cramer doesn&#8217;t hold back about financial education. &#8220;There&#8217;s a gaping hole in the American education system,&#8221; he says. Sure, high schools teach chemistry, geometry and even foreign languages. You might graduate college fluent in French and capable of discussing quantum physics. But as Cramer points out, &#8220;the one thing they almost never teach … financial literacy.&#8221; He&#8217;s not talking about economics but the everyday stuff: financial planning, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/01/36696321/will-your-1-5-million-nest-egg-last-if-you-retire-early-at-62">retirement readiness</a> and investing.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/evergreen-money"><strong> </strong><strong>re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Retirement planning might feel like something to tackle later, but Cramer wants you to pay attention. He says, "For those of you who are about to change the channel because the whole idea of saving for retirement puts you to sleep, hear me out … You need to know this stuff." He believes your future self will thank you for sorting out your retirement funds. Eventually, everyone will stop working – "Hopefully sooner rather than later," he quips, unless you're lucky enough to love your job.</p>
<p>Now, Cramer isn't here to sing the praises of the 401(k) as the be-all and end-all of financial planning. He knows it's a mixed bag. "Sometimes I think it's the wrong approach," he admits.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/charlie-munger-100k"><strong><em>Charlie Munger said if you want to be rich, &#8220;find a way to get your hands on $100,000&#8221; — here&#8217;s what he means.</em></strong></a></em></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Good</strong></p>
<p>One of the best aspects of a 401(k) is its tax-deferred status. "You pay no taxes on what you put in and you never pay a penny of capital gains taxes on the profits you make within your 401(k)," Cramer says. This allows your investments to compound tax-free until withdrawals begin. Cramer calls compounding "the eighth wonder of the world." Investing $5,000 a year at age 30 could grow to over $511,000 by 60.</p>
<p>Another perk? Employer matching. "For every dollar you invest in your 401(k) plan, your employer might say, ‘Hey, we'll throw in 50 cents.'" Cramer urges you to use free money if your company offers it.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"><strong> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Bad</strong></p>
<p>But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. "401(k) plans can have many problems," Cramer warns. They can be riddled with hidden fees that eat away at returns. "I find that extortionate," he says. Some employers offer many choices while others limit you to just a few mutual funds.</p>
<p><strong>The Ugly</strong></p>
<p>Without employer matching, the 401(k) looks less attractive. In that case, Cramer suggests considering an IRA, which offers the same tax-deferred status and can be rolled over when changing jobs. "You can only contribute $6,500 a year to your IRA," he notes, rising to $7,500 if you're over 50. It's lower than the 401(k) limit but without some strings attached.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: The number of ‘401(k)' Millionaires is up 43% from last year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/401k-millionaires"><strong> </strong><strong>Here are three ways to join the club.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, What Should You Do?</h2>
<p>Cramer's advice? Be picky. "Before you contribute money to your 401(k), make sure it gives you the option to put your cash into something worth investing in." If you're stuck with a limited range of choices, opt for a low-cost index fund that mirrors the market.</p>
<p>Cramer's not saying to ditch the 401(k) altogether, but he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">urging you to be smart about it.</a> Take the free money if your employer offers it, avoid high fees and choose your investments wisely.&nbsp;</p>
