Scott Burns: If Retirement Is So Terrible Where Are The Riots ?
FYI: I’ve lost count of the surveys telling us that all Americans will suffer deprivation when they retire. I'm sure you have, too. A recent Harris Poll found that 74 percent of Americans worried about retirement. The National Retirement Risk Index now indicates that 53 percent of Americans are “at risk.” Regards, Ted http://assetbuilder.com/scott_burns/if_retirement_is_so_terrible_where_are_the_riots

It has been shown that the first half of baby boomers 1947-55 have done much better financially then the second half and those who came after.
It is the first half of baby boomers that are retiring now.
It is those that come after that will have a difficult time.
