Here's the shocking truth about Retirement in America:

Many Americans hit retirement age scrambling for financial security
8.2 Million adults over the age of 65 are living BELOW the poverty line.
Over 10 Million people over the age of 65 are still working, double the amount from 1985

This is reality, but it’s not all doom and gloom - there’s still hope, and the solution is simpler than you might expect.

In this episode, we start with the story of a retired couple who burned through their retirement savings, forcing the husband to go back to work at age 71. We then delve into the historical events that led up to our current state and the proposed solutions from Pundits & Politicians.
