One thing I harp on to anyone who will listen is the danger to the Social Security Trust Fund. You can only imagine how many friends it makes me. Well, I’ve taken my act on the road. Please click the link below to read an Op-Ed contribution on Social Security I recently contributed to The Hill.
When I think about Social Security, I think about MacGyver. You know, the 1980s heartthrob who could defuse a bomb with a paperclip. (The show has even been rebooted) Bear with me. Time and time again, MacGyver would wait until the very last second to stave off disaster.
Other than Social Security, another one of my passions is good retirement planning. Let me just emphasize once again, people generally steer clear of me in social situations. But, Robert Brokamp at the Motley Fool does a good job of making it interesting. Heck, he was even able to make me sound kind of interesting on the podcast below.
The National Retirement Risk Index measures how many Americans will be able to maintain their standard of living after retirement. Are you at risk? We’ll find out today as Bro goes right to the source, with special guest Geoffrey Sanzenbacher from The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
Please give these a look, and share with others if you can. Also, take the chance to check out some of my recent posts.
