The 401k Has Been a Complete Disaster For Americans – Here’s Why
1981 was the pivotal point in American history where we shifted from pensions to the 401k as the primary source of retirement funding. Since then we have seen the perils and downsides of a system with a flawed design and execution.

In this episode, I talk about the huge problems with the 401k design and how it will impact your financial future.
