The Retirement Crisis is Real

by Michael Myers on January 1, 2009

Shortfalls in savings at the individual, corporate, and government levels are the foundation of the retirement crisis, as the two videos below from  ChrisMartenson.com illustrate. Unfortunately, the financial crisis of 2008 has just added millions of baby boomers to the shortfall list, due to the unprecented drops in the value of investment portfolios and real estate.

The looming question is: What will the retirement landscape be like after the financial crisis? If your investment portfolio and real estate lost signficant value, will you be able to recover in time to afford a comfortable environment?

This website and blog will describe strategies for preparing for retirement based on realistic assessments of the post-financial crisis economy.
