A recent report by J.P. Morgan Asset Management found that Americansmonthly spending increased 25% in the past year .

Spending tends to fluctuate more than 20% per year for the majority of retirees.

52% of retirees between ages 75 and 80 experience spending volatility from one year to the next.

The report recommends retirees set aside three to six months of income.

Only 47% of working Americans ages 50 to 75 believe they'll be able to cover their basic living expenses in retirement with guaranteed income.

An annuity could help bridge that gap.

Another way to set yourself up for more financial stability in retirement is to delay your Social Security claim past full retirement age.
