Consuelo Mack's WealthTrack : Guest: Teresa Ghilarducci, Retirement Expert: Flawed Retirement

FYI: FYI: The retirement crisis is real. 40% of older, middle-class workers and their spouses will fall into poverty or near poverty in retirement. Economist and retirement expert Teresa Ghilarducci says the U.S.’ 40-year experiment with do-it-yourself retirement is seriously flawed, but there are ways to fix it.

    Thanks @Ted,

    I like the idea of a GRA (Guaranteed Retirement Account).

    Here's an example of allocation and performance of the CT State Pension plans.

    I see a big push back from 401K, 403b, 40-whatever providers to allow the GRA program to shift retirement moneys from their profit centers to State Pension Systems.

    Interview also touched on selling at the wrong time (during a market pullback).

    How do you avoid selling when markets are down (sequence of return risk)?
