Making a Secure Retirement Possible with Jason Fichtner

According to Alliance for Lifetime Income research, The Peak 65 Generation: Creating a New Retirement Security Framework, "With the U.S. experiencing the greatest retirement surge in its history, the country's public and private sector retirement systems have become obsolete. The old metaphor of the three-legged stool of retirement planning — employer pensions, personal savings, and Social Security — no longer holds. These demographic changes will have major implications for the country's fiscal finances and the retirement security for the boomer generation and the generations that follow."

In this episode, Jack talks with Jason Fichtner, Vice President and Chief Economist at Bipartisan Policy Center and Senior Research Fellow at Alliance for Lifetime Income. Jason's research focuses on Social Security, federal tax policy, federal budget policy, retirement security, and policy proposals to increase savings and investment.
