Summary

SUPERANNO Right now, America is barreling towards a retirement catastrophe. Social security isn't nearly enough, but 80 percent of the American people either have no other pension plan or are relying solely on a woefully underfunded 401(k). The reality is as simple as it is terrifying: you simply can't retire on a 401(k). You couldn't do it before the recent stock market crash, and you certainly can't do it now. There's some good news, though. America is awakening to its retirement crisis. And, with the election of Barack Obama, there's a huge new window of opportunity to tackle this problem--and finally solve it, once and for all. In this book, one of the nation's leading retirement planning experts offers a specific and detailed plan for transforming retirement finance in America.
