America Can’t Retire : The State of Retirement in America

Ben and Brent dive deep into Vanguard’s 31-page study on America’s retirement readiness released in 2023. The news isn’t great, as the title of the episode implies. Most Americans will be forced to make less-than-comfortable decisions during their golden years to keep solvent. They discuss what this means for people in this situation and what investors can do today to set themselves up for a retirement full of options.  

 

In today’s episode, we talk about:

1. How much to people need?
2. How much to people have?
3. Why the difference? 
4. What can you do to be successful?
